Tag editor and tag library functions
You can use tag editors to insert new tags, edit existing tags, and access reference information about tags. The Tag
Chooser lets users organize their tags so that they can easily select frequently used tags. The tag libraries that come with
Dreamweaver store information about tags that are used in standards-based markup languages and most widely used
tag-based scripting languages. You can use the JavaScript Tag editor, Tag Chooser, and Tag library functions when you
need to access and work with tag editors and tag libraries in your extensions.
