The Insert bar is quite accessible to new users. You can even switch between the different categories being
available as drop-down list or as a series of tabs. The ultimate in accessibility, however, has to be the Insert
bar??™s Favorites category. You can personalize the Favorites category and display just those objects you use
most frequently, in the order you choose.
Custom tags, translators, and Property inspectors
In Dreamweaver, almost every part of the user interface can be customized??”including the tags themselves.
You can easily add new tags and specify how they should be formatted via the Tag Library Editor; you can
even import entire tag sets represented by DTDs. After you??™ve developed your custom third-party tags, you
can display and modify their current properties with a custom Property inspector. Moreover, if your custom
tags include content not typically shown in Dreamweaver??™s Document window, you can build a custom
translator, enabling the content to be displayed.
Programs such as Dreamweaver are usually built in the programming language called C or C++, which must
be compiled before it is used. Generally, the basic functions of a C program are frozen solid; there??™s no way
that you can extend them. This is not the case with Dreamweaver, however, which offers a C-Level
Extensibility that permits programmers to create libraries to install new functionality into the program.
