Keep in mind one other important aspect of repeating regions: They aren??™t automatically
editable??”you have to include an editable region within a repeating region to make it so. The
capability to lock specific portions of repeating regions makes this an extremely powerful feature.
To insert a repeating region, follow these steps:
1. Select the portion of the page that you want to repeat. As noted earlier, a repeating region cannot
overlap a tag pair. If you attempt to do this, Dreamweaver automatically extends the selection so
that the entire tag is included.
2. Choose Insert ??? Template Objects ??? Repeating Region or, from the Templates group of the Insert
bar, click the Repeating Region icon as seen in Figure 28-8.
FIGURE 28-8
Repeating regions are marked in templates with an outline and named tab, just like
editable and optional regions.

3. Enter a unique name in the New Repeating Region dialog box and click OK. Dreamweaver automatically
provides a name, but as always, it??™s best if you supply a meaningful name.
As mentioned earlier, repeating regions are not, by default, editable. To make a repeating region editable,
select the content within the repeating region??”not the repeating region itself??”and then create an editable
region by either clicking the Editable Region icon in the Templates menu of the Insert bar or choosing
Insert ??? Template Objects ??? Editable Region.
