110 Chapter 5: Customizing Code View
Changing default HTML formatting
To change general code formatting preferences, use the Code Format category of the Preferences
dialog box. To change the format of specific tags and attributes, use the Tag Library Editor
(Edit > Tag Libraries). For more information, see Using Dreamweaver on the Dreamweaver
Help menu.
You can also edit the formatting for a tag by editing the VTM file that corresponds to the tag
(in a subfolder of the Tag Libraries configuration folder), but it’s much easier to change
formatting within Dreamweaver.
If you add or remove a VTM file, you must edit the TagLibraries.vtm file; Dreamweaver ignores
any VTM file that is not listed in TagLibraries.vtm.
Note: Edit this file in a text editor, not in Dreamweaver.
