Customizing Code view
The following excerpt from the CodeColoring.xml file illustrates the hierarchy of tags in a code coloring scheme file,
and it also illustrates the relationship between the code coloring styles file and the code coloring scheme file:
Notice that the
syntaxColor
and
tagColor
tags in the Colors.xml file assign color and style values to an
id
string
value. The
id
value is then used in the CodeColoring.xml file to assign a style to a scheme tag. For example, the
defaultTag
tag in the CodeColoring.xml excerpt has an
id
of
"CodeColor_HTMLComment"
. In the Colors.xml file,
the
id
value of "
CodeColor_HTMLComment"
is assigned a
text=
value of
"#999999"
, which is gray.
Dreamweaver includes the following code coloring schemes: Default, HTML, JavaScript, ASP_JavaScript,
ASP_VBScript, JSP, and ColdFusion. The Default scheme has an
id
value equal to
"Text"
, Dreamweaver uses the
Default scheme for document types that do not have a defined code coloring scheme.
A code coloring file contains the following tags, described below:
scheme, blockEnd, blockStart, brackets, charStart, charEnd, charEsc, commentStart, commentEnd,
cssImport/, cssMedia/, cssProperty/, cssSelector/, cssValue/, defaultAttribute, defaultTag,
defaultText/, endOfLineComment, entity/, functionKeyword, idChar1, idCharRest, ignoreCase,
ignoreMMTParams, ignoreTags, isLocked, keyword, keywords, numbers/, operators, regexp,
sampleText, searchPattern, stringStart, stringEnd, stringEsc, tagGroup
Description
The
scheme
tag specifies code coloring for a block of code text. You can have multiple schemes within a file to specify
different coloring for different scripting or tag languages. Each scheme has a priority that lets you nest a block of text
with one scheme inside a block of text with a different scheme.
Starting with Dreamweaver CS4, the Code Coloring parser now merges
conflicting tags are added to the existing
