Open In Code View option
It??™s not just an HTML world??”many code types are commonly found on a Web designer??™s palette such as
XML, XSL, PHP, and Perl. Dreamweaver??™s internal code is full-featured enough to handle a wide variety of
code and, with the Open In Code View option, you can determine which types you??™d like it to handle. By
default, JavaScript (.js), text (.txt), and Active Server Application (.asa) files are automatically opened
in Code view. Dreamweaver attempts to open any other selected file type in Design view.
If you find yourself hand-editing other file types, such as XML files, you can add their extension to the
Open In Code View field. Separate extensions with a space, and be sure to begin each one with a period.
External Code Editor option
Dreamweaver recognizes the importance of your choice of a text editor. Although Dreamweaver ships with
two extremely robust code editors??”as well as its excellent built-in code editor??”you can opt to use any
other program.
