Chapter 13: Tag libraries and
editors
Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 users can use tag editors to insert new tags, edit existing tags, and
access reference information about tags. Dreamweaver comes with editors for the following
languages: HTML, ASP.NET, CFML, JRun, and JSP. You can customize tag editors that come with
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 Dreamweaver users
view available tags and select them to use in the active document.
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
