Code coloring

Dreamweaver lets you customize or extend the code coloring schemes that you see in Code view so that you can add
new keywords to a scheme or add code coloring schemes for new document types. If you develop JavaScript
functions to use in your client-side script, for example, you can add the names of these functions to the keywords
section so that they display in the color that is specified in the Preferences dialog box. Likewise, if you develop a new
programming language for an application server and you want to distribute a new document type to help Dream-
weaver users build pages with it, you could add a code coloring scheme for the document type.
