Here's an example of an XML file which contains 2 styles and under the example there's descriptions for each property.

Edit: edited the example

Code:

<XML>
  <textdraw name="TEXT">
	<x>100.0</x>
	<y>100.0</y>
	<letterx>1.0</letterx>
	<lettery>1.0</lettery>
	<textx>0.0</textx>
	<texty>999.0</texty>
	<alignment>left</alignment>
	<color>0xFFFFFFFF</color>
	<box>0xFFFFFFFF</box>
	<shadow>0</shadow>
	<outline>0</outline>
	<background>0x000000FF</background>
	<font>1</font>
	<proportional>1</proportional>
	<time>0</time>
  </textdraw>
  <textdraw name="TEXT2">
	<x>100.0</x>
	<y>200.0</y>
	<letterx>1.0</letterx>
	<lettery>1.0</lettery>
	<textx>0.0</textx>
	<texty>999.0</texty>
	<alignment>left</alignment>
	<color>0xFFFFFFFF</color>
	<box>0x000000FF</box>
	<shadow>0</shadow>
	<outline>0</outline>
	<background>0x000000FF</background>
	<font>1</font>
	<proportional>1</proportional>
	<time>0</time>
  </textdraw>
</XML>

name	String: name of the style (important)
-	-
x	Float: x-coordinate
y	Float: y-coordinate
letterx	Float: horizontal letter size
lettery	Float: vertical letter size
textx	Float: horizontal text size
texty	Float: vertical text size
alignment	left, right or center
colour/color	Hex: color
box	Hex: box color (don't include this to set it off)
shadow	Int: shadow value (0 = no shadow)
outline	Int: outline value (0 = no outline)
background	Hex: background color
font	Int: font type
proportional	toggle proportional (don't include this to set it off)
time	Int: time how long the text draw will be displayed (in ms)

Here's an example how you load the XML file:

Code:

public OnGameModeInit()
{
	TD_Parse("example_directory/xml_file.xml");
	return 1;
}

Here's an example how you can show a styled text draw to a player:

Code:

public OnPlayerSpawn(playerid)
{
	new Style:styleid = TD_GetNamed("TEXT");

	new Text:textdrawid = TD_Display("Hello World", styleid);

	TD_ShowForPlayer(playerid, textdrawid);

	return 1;
}

Here's a full script which creates a text draw which changes color every second after player has spawned. I'm using the XML file shown on the top of the post.

pawn Code:

#include <a_samp>
#include <YSI\y_master>
#include <YSI\y_timers>
#include <YSI\y_td>

main() { }

new Text:td_pHelloWorld[MAX_PLAYERS];

// This function is just a wrapper for clean usage of the player-draws
stock td_Show(playerid, Text:textdrawid, Style:styleid, text[])
{
    if(textdrawid != Text:INVALID_TEXT_DRAW)
    {
        // If the draw already exists, just set the content
        TD_SetString(textdrawid, text);
    }
    else
    {
        // If the draw doesn't exist, create it
        textdrawid = TD_Display(text, styleid);
    }
    
    // Show the draw
    return TD_ShowForPlayer(playerid, textdrawid);
}

public OnGameModeInit()
{
    // Parse the XML file
    TD_Parse("example/example.xml");
    
    // This is a must for a working gamemode, taken from some default script
    AddPlayerClass(265,1958.3783,1343.1572,15.3746,270.1425,0,0,0,0,-1,-1);
    return 1;
}

public OnPlayerSpawn(playerid)
{
    // Format the content of the text draw "Hello <player name>"
    new string[64];
    GetPlayerName(playerid, string, sizeof(string));
    format(string, sizeof(string), "Hello %s", string);
    
    // Show the text draw to the player using style "TEXT"
    td_Show(playerid, td_pHelloWorld[playerid], TD_GetNamed("TEXT"), string);
    return 1;
}

public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
    // If the draw is active and a new player comes in -> remove the draw and set it invalid
    if(td_pHelloWorld[playerid] != Text:INVALID_TEXT_DRAW)
    {
        TD_Destroy(td_pHelloWorld[playerid]);
        td_pHelloWorld[playerid] = Text:INVALID_TEXT_DRAW;
    }

    return 1;
}

// Start a task (timer)
task ColorTimer[1000]()
{
    // Random colors
    static color_rotation[] =
    {
        0xFF0000FF,
        0x00FF00FF,
        0x0000FFFF,
        0x000000FF,
        0xFFFFFFFF,
        0xFF8000FF,
        0xFF8080FF,
        0x808080FF,
        0x8080FFFF,
        0x80FFFFFF
    };
    
    // Get style ID
    new Style:styleid = TD_GetNamed("TEXT");
    
    // Get style data
    new td_data[E_TD_DATA];
    TD_GetStyleData(styleid, td_data);
    
    // Take a random color which isn't the previous color
    new rand_color;
    while(!rand_color || rand_color == td_data[E_TD_DATA_COLOUR])
    {
        rand_color = color_rotation[random(sizeof(color_rotation))];
    }
    
    // Set style color
    TD_Colour(styleid, rand_color);
    return 1;
}
