To edit styles for a scheme using the Code Coloring category in the Preferences dialog box,
double-click a document type, or click the Edit Coloring Scheme button, to open the Edit
Coloring Scheme dialog box.
To edit the style for a particular element, select it in the Styles For list. The items listed in the
Styles For pane include the fields for the scheme being edited and also the schemes that might
appear as blocks within this scheme. For example, if you edit the HTML scheme, the fields for
CSS and JavaScript blocks are also listed.
The fields listed for a scheme correspond to the fields defined in the XML file. The value of the
attribute precedes each field listed in the Styles For pane. Fields that do not have a
scheme.name
name are not listed.
The style for a particular element includes bold, italic, underline, and background color in
addition to code coloring. After you select an element in the Styles For pane, you can change any
of these style characteristics.
The Preview area displays how sample text would appear with the current settings. The sample
text is taken from the setting for the scheme.

If you change the setting for an element of a scheme, Dreamweaver stores the value in the code
coloring file and overrides the original setting. When you click OK, Dreamweaver reloads all code
coloring changes automatically.
