Chapter 13: Tag libraries and editors

Dreamweaver stores information about each tag, including all tag attributes, in a set of subfolders that reside in the
Configuration/TagLibraries folder. The Tag editor and Tag Chooser functions use the information that is stored in this
folder when manipulating and editing tags.

Dreamweaver comes with editors for the following languages: HTML, ASP.NET, CFML, JRun, and JSP. You can
customize tag editors that come with Dreamweaver, and you can create new tag editors. You can also add new tags to
the tag libraries.

Before you can create custom tag editors, understand the tag library structure. The following table lists the files you
use to create a tag library:

Path
