Viewing template-based documents in Code view

In Code view, editable regions of a document derived from a template appear in a different color than code in the non-editable regions. You can make changes only to code in the editable regions or editable parameters; Dreamweaver prevents you from typing in locked regions.

Editable content is marked in HTML with the following Dreamweaver comments:

Everything between these comments is editable in a template-based document. The HTML source code for an editable region might look like this:

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" leftmargin="0">
<table width="75%"  border="1"  cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr bgcolor="#333366"> 
    <td>Name</td>
    <td><font color="#FFFFFF">Address</font></td>
    <td><font color="#FFFFFF">Telephone Number</font></td>
  </tr>
  <!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="LocationList" --> 
  <tr> 
    <td>Enter name</td>
    <td>Enter Address</td>
    <td>Enter Telephone</td>
  </tr>
  <!-- InstanceEndEditable --> 
</table> 
</body>

The default color for non-editable text is gray; you can select a different color for the editable and non-editable regions in the Preferences dialog box. For more information, see Customizing code coloring preferences for a template.
