Dreamweaver uses HTML comment tags to specify regions in templates and template-based documents, so template-based documents are still valid HTML files. When you insert a template object, template tags are inserted in the code.
General syntax rules are as follows:
Wherever a space appears, you can substitute any amount of white space (spaces, tabs, line breaks). The white space is mandatory except at the very beginning or end of a comment.
Attributes can be given in any order. For example, in a TemplateParam, you can specify the type before the name.
Comment and attribute names are case sensitive.
All attributes must be in quotation marks. Single or double quotes can be used.
