Set properties for a tag library
1 In the Tag Library editor (Edit > Tag Libraries), select a tag library (not a tag) in the Tags list.
Note: The properties for tag libraries appear only when a tag library is selected. Tag libraries are represented by the top-
level folders in the Tags list; for example, the HTML Tags folder represents a tag library, while the abbr folder within the
HTML Tags folder represents a tag.
2 In the Used In list, select every document type that should use the tag library.
The document types you select here determine which document types provide code hints for the given tag library.
For example, if the HTML option is not selected for a given tag library, code hints for that tag library don’t appear in
HTML files.
3 (Optional) Enter the prefix for the tags in the Tag Prefix box.
Note: A prefix is used to identify a tag in the code as part of a particular tag library. Some tag libraries don’t use prefixes.
4 Click OK.
Edit a tag in a tag library
1 In the Tag Library editor (Edit > Tag Libraries), expand a tag library in the Tags list and select a tag.
2 Set any of the following Tag Format options:
Line Breaks Specifies where Dreamweaver inserts line breaks for a tag.
Contents Specifies how Dreamweaver inserts the contents of a tag; that is, if it applies line break, formatting, and
indentation rules to the content.
Case Specifies the case for a specific tag. Select from Default, Lowercase, Uppercase, or Mixed Case. If you select
Mixed Case, the Tag Name Mixed Case dialog box appears. Type the tag with the case Dreamweaver should use when
inserting it (for example,
getProperty) and click OK.
Set Default Sets the default case for all tags. In the Default Tag Case dialog box that appears, select
or , and click OK.
You might want to set your default case to be lowercase to comply with XML and XHTML standards.
