Tutorial for Quick Look Generator not associated with .app

I've checked out Apple's Quick Look Programming Guide: Introduction to Quick Look page in the Mac Dev Center, but as a more of a science programmer rather than an Apple programmer, it is a little over my head (but I could get through it in a weekend if I bash my head against it long enough).

Does anyone know of a good basic Quick Look Generators tutorial that is simple enough for someone with only very modest experience with Xcode?

For those that are curious, I have a filetype called .evt that has an xml header and then binary info after the header. I'm trying to write a generator to display the xml header. There's no application bundle that it belongs to. Thanks!

You might want to start with looking at sample code. Some people learn faster from seeing an example. Here's a generator example:
