Extending Dreamweaver MX 23
Document type definition file
The central component of extensible document types is the document type definition file. There
might be several definition files, all of which are located in the Configuration/DocumentTypes
folder. Each definition file contains information about at least one document type. For each
document type, essential information such as server model, color coding style, descriptions, and
so forth, is described.
Note: Do not confuse Dreamweaver MX document type definition files with what are called DTDs in XML literature.
Document type definition files in Dreamweaver MX contain a set of <documenttype> elements, each of which
defines a predefined collection of tags and attributes that are associated with a document type. When it launches,
Dreamweaver parses the document type definition files and creates an in-memory database of information
regarding all defined document types.
Dreamweaver MX provides an initial document type definition file. This file, named
MMDocumentTypes.xml, contains all Macromedia-provided document type definitions:
