Templates

Last updated 6/3/2015

You can identify a template file by looking at the title bar in the Document window. The title bar for a template file
contains the word <<Template>> in the title bar, and the filename extension for the file is .dwt.

Recognizing templates in Code view

In Code view, editable content regions are marked in HTML with the following comments:

<!-- TemplateBeginEditable> and <!-- TemplateEndEditable -->

You can use code color preferences to set your own color scheme so you can easily distinguish template regions when
you view a document in Code view.

Everything between these comments will be editable in documents based on the template. The HTML source code for
an editable region might look like this:

<table width="75%" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

<tr bgcolor="#333366">

<td>Name</td>

<td><font color="#FFFFFF">Address</font></td>

<td><font color="#FFFFFF">Telephone Number</font></td>

</tr>

<!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="LocationList" -->

<tr>

<td>Enter name</td>

<td>Enter Address</td>

<td>Enter Telephone</td>

</tr>

<!-- TemplateEndEditable -->

</table>

Note: When you edit template code in Code view, be careful not to change any of the template-related comment tags that
Dreamweaver relies on.
