Creating a Dreamweaver template

About creating Dreamweaver templates

You can create a template from an existing document (such as an HTML, Macromedia ColdFusion, or Microsoft
Active Server Pages document) or you can create a template from a new document.

After you create a template, you can insert template regions, and set template preferences for code color and template
region highlight color.

You can store additional information about a template (such as who created it, when it was last changed, or why you
made certain layout decisions) in a Design Notes file for the template. Documents based on a template do not inherit

the template’s Design Notes.

Note: Templates in Adobe Dreamweaver differ from templates in some other Adobe Creative Suite products in that page
sections of Dreamweaver templates are fixed (or uneditable) by default.
