To be imported, XML files must follow one of the two structures used when exporting a template to XML:
Standard Dreamweaver XML or Editable Region Names used as XML tags. Although it??™s a matter of personal
preference, I find the Editable Region Names format to be easier to read and, in general, simpler to work
with.
When you??™re importing XML files, make sure that the XML files that you??™re importing have the
necessary template declarations in order for Dreamweaver to find the appropriate template to
format the incoming data.
How do you create a file from the XML? Naturally, you could open a template for your XML document and
fill in the data by hand??”but that, in a sense, defeats the purpose of automating your workflow via XML. A
more efficient scenario is to use a database to accept and store content; the database entry form is easily
accessible over a network or over the Internet. A report, generated by the database application, blends the
content data and the XML structure, resulting in an XML file to be imported into Dreamweaver.
To import an XML file into a Dreamweaver template, follow these steps:
1. If desired, open a file based on a Dreamweaver template.
2. Choose File ??? Import XML into Template. The Import XML dialog box opens.
