Chapter 13
Customizing the
Development Environment
This chapter introduces the Visual Tools Markup Language (VTML) and the Wizard
Markup Language (WIZML), tag-based languages that are used internally by
HomeSite, ColdFusion Studio, and JRun Studio.
You can use VTML to generate tag-specific dialog boxes and other interface elements
for entering and editing HTML, XHTML, CFML, JSP , and all other supported
language elements.
WIZML enables you to design and build custom wizards to gather user input and to
drive application output.
The online VTML Reference contains the full syntax and descriptions of both
languages.
The term Visual Tools is used in this chapter to refer to the Macromedia products
HomeSite, ColdFusion Studio, and JRun Studio.
