Template tag syntax
This section describes the general syntax rules and lists the HTML comment tags Dreamweaver
uses to specify regions in templates and template-based documents. Dreamweaver automatically
inserts template tags in the code when you insert a template object.
Note: Dreamweaver uses HTML comment tags to define template regions, so template-based
documents are still valid HTML files.
General syntax rules
Following are general syntax rules:
•
Wherever a space appears, you can substitute any amount of whitespace (spaces, tabs, line
breaks). The whitespace is mandatory except at the very beginning or end of a comment.
•
Attributes can be given in any order. For example, in a TemplateParam, you can specify the
type before the name.
•
Comment and attribute names are case sensitive.
•
All attributes must be in quotation marks. Single or double quotes can be used.
