A snippet is a
block of code that has been stored by Dreamweaver and can be inserted at any point. The Recent Snippets
feature lists the 10 most recently used snippets, which can be either wrap or block type. For more information
about Snippets, see the ???Adding Code through the Snippets Panel??? section later in the chapter.
The final buttons on the Coding toolbar are used for styling your code. The Indent Code and Outdent Code
buttons move selected code blocks in or out according to the options set in the Code Format category of
Preferences. The final button, Format Source Code, allows you to style either the entire document or a
selection of your code according to the Code Format Settings??”which, along with another code style
option, Tag Libraries??”is also available under this menu.
Enhancing Code Authoring Productivity
One of the reasons why the Web grew so quickly is that the basic tool for creating Web pages was ubiquitous:
Any text editor would do. That??™s still true, but just as you can cut down any tree with a hand saw, that
doesn??™t make it the right tool??”the most efficient tool??”for the job. Dreamweaver includes numerous features
and options that make it a world-class code editor and not just for HTML. The Tag Library feature
makes Dreamweaver a terrific code-editing environment for almost any Web language, including XHTML,
XML, ColdFusion, ASP, ASP.
