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.

Recognizing template-based documents in Design view

In Design view, a document based on a template (a template-based document), editable regions appear in the
Document window surrounded by rectangular outlines in a preset highlight color. A small tab appears at the upper-
left corner of each region, showing the name of the region.
