Template tag syntax

Template tag syntax

This section describes the general syntax rules and lists the HTML comment tags Dreamweaver uses to specify regions in templates and template-based documents. Dreamweaver automatically inserts template tags in the code when you insert a template object.

NOTE

Dreamweaver uses HTML comment tags to define template regions, so template-based documents are still valid HTML files.
