Tag Editor And Tag Library Functions - MACROMEDIA DREAMWEAVER 8-DREAMWEAVER API Reference

Tag editor and tag library functions

You can use tag editors to insert new tags, edit existing tags, and access reference information
about tags. The Tag Chooser lets users organize their tags so that they can easily select
frequently used tags. The tag libraries that come with Dreamweaver store information about
tags that are used in standards-based markup languages and most widely used tag-based
scripting languages. You can use the JavaScript tag editor, Tag Chooser, and tag library
functions when you need to access and work with tag editors and tag libraries in your
extensions.
