About Dreamweaver tag libraries
A tag library, in Dreamweaver, is a collection of tags of a particular type, along with information about how Dreamweaver should format the tags.
Tag libraries provide the information about tags that Dreamweaver uses for code hints, target browser checks, the Tag Chooser, and other coding
capabilities. Using the Tag Library editor, you can add and delete tag libraries, tags, attributes, and attribute values; set properties for a tag library,
including format (for easy identification in the code); and edit tags and attributes.
Open and close the Tag Library editor
1. Select Edit >Tag Libraries to open the Tag library editor.
The Tag Library Editor dialog box appears. (The options of this dialog box change depending on the selected tag.)
2. Close the Tag Library editor in one of the following ways:
To save changes, click OK.
To close the editor without saving changes, click Cancel.
Note: When you click Cancel, all changes you’ve made in the Tag Library editor are discarded. If you deleted a tag or tag library, it’s
restored.
