Generally:
resource: value
...and '!' is the comment character.
Note that resources have compound parts.
I picked up a copy of O'Reilly's _X Window System User's Guide_ some
years ago.
/me thinks. Sheesh. Eight years already....
...which has a pretty good set of docs on X Window System Resources.
Most of which you can get from "man X" as suggested. The book is
probably overkill now, and largely obsolete, but I'm happy to have it.
For most applications which use the Xt toolkit (fewer these days, though
a lot of stuff outside GNOME and KDE does), the app's own manpage should
list resources. The manpages for xterm, twm, xclock, and xload should
provide some decent clues. There may be sample resource files in
/etc/X11/Xresources/
Peace.
