About importing custom tags into Dreamweaver
You can import custom tags into Dreamweaver so that they become an integral part of the authoring environment. For
example, when you start typing an imported custom tag in Code view, a code hints menu appears, listing the tag’s
attributes and letting you select one.

3
Enter the filename or URL of the DTD or schema file.
