Hor to make a URDF file?

I am in very basics of ORS in MATLAB. Reading the descriptions I noticed I have to build a URDF file. The inside of the XML or URDF code is explained in every source, but I could not find, where to write this code? Does it need any special package? Where can I get it?

How can I creau this URDF file from the most begining?

I am using MATLAB by the way.

URDF is a file format used externally to MATLAB. It just happens that MATLAB has a URDF importer.

Here are the official tutorials from the ROS Wiki: http://wiki.ros.org/urdf/Tutorials
