Managing Templates
Managing Templates
A Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 template is a special type of document that you use to design a "fixed" page layout; you can then create documents based on the template that inherit the page layout of the template. As you design a template, you specify which areas of documents based on that template users can edit.

Templates enable you to control a large design area and reuse complete layouts. If you want to reuse individual design elements, such as a site’s copyright information or a logo, you can create library items. For more information, see Managing Site Assets and Libraries. |
