When the user saves a new document, Dreamweaver examines the list of extensions for
the current platform that are associated with the document type (winfileextension
and macfileextension). Dreamweaver selects the first string in the list and uses it as
the default file extension. To change this default file extension, you must reorder the
extensions in the comma-separated list so the new default is listed first.
When Dreamweaver starts, it reads all document type definition files and builds a list of valid
document types. Dreamweaver treats any entries within the definition files that have
nonexistent server models as nonserver model document types. Dreamweaver ignores entries
that have bad contents or IDs that are not unique.
If, while scanning the Configuration/DocumentTypes folder, Dreamweaver finds no
document type definition files or if any of the definition files appear to be corrupt,
Dreamweaver closes with an error message.
Dynamic templates
You can create templates that are based on dynamic document types. These templates are
called dynamic templates. The following two elements are essential to defining a dynamic
template:
Required Description
Yes The string that appears as a category
item under Blank Document in the New
Document dialog box. You can place
this string directly in the definition file or
point to it indirectly for localization
purposes. For more information on
localizing this string, see
strings" on page
Formatting is not allowed, so HTML
tags cannot be specified.
No The string that describes the document
type. You can place this string directly in
the definition file or point to it indirectly
for localization purposes. For more
information on localizing this string, see
"Localized strings" on page
Formatting is allowed, so HTML tags
can be specified.
