Defining editable tag attributes

Defining editable tag attributes

You can enable a template user to modify specified tag attributes in a document created from a template.

For example, you can set a background color in the template document, yet enable template users to set a different background color for pages they create. Users can update only the attributes you specify as editable.

NOTE

To modify editable tag attributes in template-based documents, see Modifying template properties.
