Select Tools >Tag Libraries to open the Tag library editor.
Add, modify, and delete tag libraries, tags, attributes, and attribute values in Dreamweaver. Set properties for a tag library.
A tag library, in Dreamweaver, is a collection of tags of a particular type, along with information about how Dreamweaver should format the tags. Tag libraries provide the information about tags that Dreamweaver uses for code hints, target browser checks, the Tag Chooser, and other coding capabilities. Using the Tag Library editor, you can add and delete tag libraries, tags, attributes, and attribute values; set properties for a tag library, including format (for easy identification in the code); and edit tags and attributes.
Select Tools >Tag Libraries to open the Tag library editor.
The Tag Library Editor dialog box appears. (The options of this dialog box change depending on the selected tag.)
To save changes, click OK.
To close the editor without saving changes, click Cancel.
When you click Cancel, all changes you’ve made in the Tag Library editor are discarded. If you deleted a tag or tag library, it’s restored.
You can use the Tag Library editor to add tag libraries, tags, and attributes to the tag libraries in Dreamweaver.
In the Tag Library editor (Tools > Tag Libraries), click the Plus (+) button, and select New Tag Library.
In the Tag Library editor (Tools > Tag Libraries), click the Plus (+) button and select New Tags.
In the Tag Library editor (Tools > Tag Libraries), click the Plus (+) button and select New Attributes.
Use the Tag Library editor to set properties for a tag library and edit tags and attributes in a library.
In the Tag Library editor (Tools > Tag Libraries), select a tag library (not a tag) in the Tags list.
The properties for tag libraries appear only when a tag library is selected. Tag libraries are represented by the top-level folders in the Tags list; for example, the HTML Tags folder represents a tag library, while the abbr folder within the HTML Tags folder represents a tag.
The document types you select here determine which document types provide code hints for the given tag library. For example, if the HTML option is not selected for a given tag library, code hints for that tag library don’t appear in HTML files.
A prefix is used to identify a tag in the code as part of a particular tag library. Some tag libraries don’t use prefixes.
In the Tag Library editor (Tools > Tag Libraries), expand a tag library in the Tags list and select a tag.
Line Breaks
Specifies where Dreamweaver inserts line breaks for a tag.
Contents
Specifies how Dreamweaver inserts the contents of a tag; that is, if it applies line break, formatting, and indentation rules to the content.
Case
Specifies the case for a specific tag. Select from Default, Lowercase, Uppercase, or Mixed Case. If you select Mixed Case, the Tag Name Mixed Case dialog box appears. Type the tag with the case Dreamweaver should use when inserting it (for example, getProperty) and click OK.
Set Default
Sets the default case for all tags. In the Default Tag Case dialog box that appears, select <UPPERCASE> or <lowercase>, and click OK.
You might want to set your default case to be lowercase to comply with XML and XHTML standards.
In the Tag Library editor (Tools > Tag Libraries), expand a tag library in the Tags box, expand a tag, and select a tag attribute.
If you select Mixed Case, the Attribute Name Mixed Case dialog box appears. Type the attribute with the case Dreamweaver should use when inserting it (for example, onClick), and click OK.
Click the Set Default link to set the default case for all attribute names.
If you select Enumerated, type every allowed value for the attribute in the Values box. Separate the values with commas, but no spaces. For example, the enumerated values of the showborder attribute of the cfchart tag are listed as yes,no.
In the Tag Library editor (Tools > Tag Libraries), select a tag library, tag, or attribute in the Tags box.
The item is removed from the Tags box.
