Is the
taglibrary.prefix
defined?
No
Yes
To define tags, Dreamweaver uses a modified version of the VTML file format. The following example demonstrates
all the elements that Dreamweaver must use to define an individual tag:
<tag name="input" bind="value" casesensitive="no" endtag="no">
<tagformat indentcontents="yes" formatcontents="yes" nlbeforetag nlbeforecontents=0
nlaftercontents=0 nlaftertag=1 />
<tagdialog file = "input.HTM"/>
<attributes>
<attrib name="name"/>
<attrib name="wrap" type="Enumerated">
<attriboption value="off"/>
<attriboption value="soft"/>
<attriboption value="hard"/>
/attrib>
<attrib name="onFocus" casesensitive="yes"/>
<event name="onFocus"/>
</attributes>
</tag>
The following table lists the attributes that define tags:

Description
Used by the Data Binding panel. When you select a tag of this
type, the bind attribute indicates the default attribute for data
binding.
Specifies whether the tag name is case-sensitive. If the tag is case-
sensitive, it is inserted into the user's document using exactly the
case that the tag library specifies. If the tag is not case-sensitive, it
is inserted using the default case that is specified in the Code
Format tab in the Preferences dialog box. If
is omitted, the tag is assumed to be case-insensitive.
Specifies whether the tag has both an opening and a closing tag.
For example, the input tag has no closing tag; there is no
matching tag. If the closing tag is optional, the
/input
attribute should be set to
Yes
syntax for an empty tag. For example,
endtag="xml" tagtype="empty">
Specifies the tag's formatting rules. In Dreamweaver versions
before Dreamweaver MX, these rules were stored in the
SourceFormat.txt file.
Specifies whether the contents of this tag should be indented.
Specifies whether the contents of this tag should be parsed. This
attribute is set to No for tags such as
which content is something other than HTML.

The value 0 indicates no, and the value 1 indicates yes.
