2. Follow the procedure outlined for inserting an optional region.
3. Click OK when you??™re finished.
Of course, if you want to add an editable region to an optional region containing locked content, you can
always do so when editing the template.
Setting optional region properties
Although you set up an area of the page to be optionally displayed in the template, you actually choose the
display option??”whether to show or hide the region??”in the document created from the template. As with
editable attributes, the Template Properties dialog box handles control of the optional regions. Unlike
editable attributes, optional regions only use true/false values to determine whether a selected region is
either shown (true) or not shown (false).
Instead of the template parameter statement found in templates, Dreamweaver inserts instance parameters
into the section of the template-derived document, like this one:
To set the parameters of an optional region in a template-based document, follow these steps:
1. Choose Modify ??? Template Properties. The Template Properties dialog box is displayed.
2. Select the optional region you want to affect.
3. If you want to allow the optional region to be modified in a document based on a nested template,
choose the Allow Nested Templates To Control This option.
