Other ways to extend Adobe Dreamweaver

You can also extend the following elements of Adobe Dreamweaver to expand its capabilities or tailor it to your needs.

Document types define how Adobe Dreamweaver works with different server models. Information about document types for server models is stored in the Configuration/DocumentTypes folder. For more information, see Extensible document types in Adobe Dreamweaver.

Code snippets are reusable blocks of code that are stored as code snippet (CSN) files in the Adobe Dreamweaver Configuration/Snippets folder and which Adobe Dreamweaver makes accessible in the Snippets panel. You can create additional code snippet files and install them into the Snippets folder to make them available.

Code Hints are menus that offer a typing shortcut by displaying a list of strings that potentially complete the string you are typing. If one of the strings in the menu matches the string that you started to type, you can select it to insert it in place of the string that you are typing. Code Hints menus are defined in the codehints.xml file in the Configuration/CodeHints folder, and you can add new code hints menus to it for new tags or functions that you have defined.

Menus are defined in the menus.xml file in the Configuration/Menus folder. You can add new Adobe Dreamweaver menus for your extensions by adding the menu tags for them to the menus.xml file. For more information, see Menus and Menu Commands.
