Avoiding rewriting third-party tags
Dreamweaver corrects certain kinds of errors in HTML code. For details, see Using Dreamweaver. By default,
Dreamweaver refrains from changing HTML in files with certain filename extensions, including .asp (ASP), .cfm
(ColdFusion), .jsp (JSP), and .php (PHP). This default is set so that Dreamweaver does not accidentally modify the
code contained in any such non-HTML tags. You can change the Dreamweaver default rewriting behavior so that it
rewrites HTML when it opens such files, and you can add other file types to the list of types that Dreamweaver does
not rewrite.
Dreamweaver encodes certain special characters by replacing them with numerical values when you enter them in
the Property inspector. It's usually best to let Dreamweaver perform this encoding because the special characters are
more likely to display correctly across platforms and browsers. However, because such encoding can interfere with
third-party tags, you may want to change the Dreamweaver encoding behavior when you're working with files that
contain third-party tags.
To allow Dreamweaver to rewrite HTML in more kinds of files:
Select Edit > Preferences, and select the Code Rewriting category.

Select either of the following options:

• Fix Invalidly Nested And Unclosed Tags
• Remove Extra Closing Tags
3 Do one of the following:
• Delete one or more extensions from the list of extensions in the Never Rewrite Code: In Files With Extensions
option.
• Deselect the Never Rewrite Code: In Files With Extensions option. (Deselecting this option lets Dreamweaver
rewrite HTML in all types of files.)
To add file types that Dreamweaver should not rewrite:
1 Select Edit > Preferences, and select the Code Rewriting category.
