Snippets - Adobe GOLIVE CS2 User Manual

Snippets

Snippets
You can copy portions of source code, text, images, and other objects from pages in GoLive or documents in other
applications and add them as snippets, or single objects, to pages. Snippets are similar to components except that
snippets do not remain linked to their source files when you add them to a page.
Collecting and organizing snippets
You collect snippets in the Snippets tab of the Library palette. When you save a site-specific snippet, GoLive adds a
corresponding source file to the site's web-data folder and displays it in the site-specific section of the Snippets tab in
the Library palette and in the Snippets folder in the Extras tab in the site window. Snippets are not limited to
HTML—for example, you can drag image files from the site into the Snippets tab of the Library palette.
GoLive includes many preset snippets for common web design tasks. These presets are organized in the application­
wide group in the Snippets tab of the Library palette.
