Tag Libraries and Editors
Adobe Dreamweaver users can use tag editors to insert new tags, edit existing tags, and access reference information about tags. Adobe Dreamweaver comes with editors for the following languages: HTML, ASP.Net, CFML, JRun, and JSP. You can customize tag editors that come with Adobe Dreamweaver, and you can create new tag editors. You can also add new tags to the tag libraries.
The Tag Chooser uses information that is stored in the tag libraries to let Adobe Dreamweaver users view available tags and select them to use in the active document.
Adobe Dreamweaver stores information about each tag, including all tag attributes, in a set of subfolders that reside in the Configuration/TagLibraries folder. The tag editor and Tag Chooser functions use the information that is stored in this folder when manipulating and editing tags. Before you can create custom tag editors, you should understand the tag library structure.
The following table lists the files you use to create a tag library:
Path | File | Description |
|---|---|---|
Configuration/TagLibraries/ | TagLibraries.vtm | Lists every installed tag. |
Configuration/TagLibraries/language/ | tag.vtm | Includes information about tags, for example tag attributes, whether the tag has a closing tag, and formatting rules. |
Configuration/TagLibraries/language/ | Tagimagefile.gif | Optional file to display in the Property inspector. |
