Chapter 224
If you need to create a new document type, you can either add your entry to the document
definition file that Macromedia provides (MMDocumentTypes.xml) or add your own definition
file to the Configuration/DocumentTypes folder.
Note: The NewDocuments subfolder resides in the Configuration/DocumentTypes folder. This subfolder contains
default pages (templates) for each document type.
Structure of document type definition files
The following example shows what a typical document type definition file might look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<documenttypes
xmlns:MMString="http://www.macromedia.com/schemes/data/string/">
<documenttype
id="dt-ASP-JS"
servermodel="ASP-JS"
internaltype="Dynamic"
winfileextension="asp,htm, html"
macfileextension=asp, html"
previewfile="default_aspjs_preview.htm"
file="default_aspjs.htm"
priorversionservermodel="UD4-ASP-JS" >
<title>
<loadString id="mmdocumenttypes_0title" />
</title>
<description>
<loadString id="mmdocumenttypes_0descr" />
</description>
</documenttype>
...
</documenttypes>
Note: Color coding for document types are specified in the XML files that reside in the Configuration/CodeColoring
folder.
In the preceding example, the <loadstring> element identifies the localized strings that
Dreamweaver MX should use for the title and description for ASP-JS type documents. For more
information on localized strings, see “Localized strings” on page 28.
