Creating a Dreamweaver template
About creating Dreamweaver templates
You can create a template from an existing document (such as an HTML, Adobe ColdFusion, or Microsoft Active
Server Pages document) or you can create a template from a new document.
After you create a template, you can insert template regions, and set template preferences for code color and template
region highlight color.
You can store additional information about a template (such as who created it, when it was last changed, or why you
made certain layout decisions) in a Design Notes file for the template. Documents based on a template do not inherit
the template’s Design Notes.
Note: Templates in Adobe Dreamweaver differ from templates in some other Adobe Creative Suite products in that page
sections of Dreamweaver templates are fixed (or uneditable) by default.
For a tutorial on creating templates, see www.adobe.com/go/vid0157.
For a tutorial on using templates, see www.adobe.com/go/vid0158.
