Viewing templates in Code view

In Code view, you can make changes to both editable and locked HTML source code in a template.

TIP

You can use code color preferences to set your own color scheme so you can easily distinguish template regions when you view a document in Code view (see Customizing code coloring preferences for a template).

Editable content regions are marked in HTML with the following comments:

Everything between these comments will be editable in documents based on the template. The HTML source code for an editable region might look like this:

<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>
  <!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="LocationList" --> 
  <tr> 
    <td>Enter name</td>
    <td>Enter Address</td>
    <td>Enter Telephone</td>
  </tr>
  <!-- TemplateEndEditable --> 
</table> 

   
NOTE

 

Be careful when you edit template code in Code view that you don’t change any of the template-related comment tags that Dreamweaver relies on.
