Extensible document types in Dreamweaver

XML provides a rich system for defining complex documents and data structures. Dreamweaver uses several XML
schemas to organize information about server behaviors, tags and tag libraries, components, document types, and
reference information.
When you create and work with extensions in Dreamweaver, there are many instances in which you create or modify
existing XML files to manage the data that your extension uses. In many cases, you can copy an existing file from the
appropriate subfolder within the Configuration folder to use as a template.
Document type definition file
The central component of extensible document types is the document type definition file. There might be several
definition files, all of which are located in the Configuration/DocumentTypes folder. Each definition file contains
information about at least one document type. For each document type, essential information such as server model,
color coding style, descriptions, and so forth, is described.
Note: Do not confuse Dreamweaver document type definition files with the XML document type definition (DTD).
Document type definition files in Dreamweaver contain a set of
predefined collection of tags and attributes that are associated with a document type. When Dreamweaver starts, it
parses the document type definition files and creates an in-memory database of information regarding all defined
document types.
Dreamweaver provides an initial document type definition file. This file, named MMDocumentTypes.xml, contains
the document type definitions provided by Adobe:
