Dreamweaver incorporates this capability through its third-party tag feature.
After you??™ve defined a third-party tag, Dreamweaver displays it in the Document window by highlighting its
content, inserting a user-defined icon, or doing neither depending on the Preferences selected and the
attributes assigned. Third-party tags are easily selected through the Tag Selector below the Document window;
therefore, they are easy to cut, copy and paste, or otherwise manipulate. Perhaps most important, after
a third-party tag is defined, you can apply a custom Property inspector that enables tag attributes to be
entered in a standardized user interface.
Third-party tags can be defined directly within Dreamweaver. Just as object files use HTML to structure
HTML code for easy insertion, Dreamweaver uses XML to make an XML definition for the custom tag. A
custom tag declaration consists solely of one tag,
, with up to seven attributes. The following
list describes all of the tag??™s legal attributes:
n tag_name??”Defines the name of the tag as used in the markup. Any valid name??”no spaces or
special characters are allowed??”is possible. A tag with the attribute tag_name=???invoice??? is
entered in the document as .
n tag_type??”Determines whether the tag has a closing tag (nonempty) and is thus capable of
enclosing content or if the tag describes the content itself (empty).
