Tag library file format 207
The following table lists the attributes that define tags:
Attribute Description Mandatory/
optional
tag.bind
Used by the Data Binding panel. When you
select a tag of this type, the
bind attribute
indicates the default attribute for data binding.
Optional
tag.casesensitive
Specifies whether the tag name is case-
sensitive. If the tag is case-sensitive, it is inserted
into the user’s document using exactly the case
that the tag library specifies. If the tag is not
case-sensitive, it is inserted using the default
case that is specified in the Code Format tab in
the Preferences dialog box. If
casesensitive
is omitted, the tag is assumed to be
case-insensitive.
Optional
tag.endtag
Specifies whether the tag has both a opening
and a closing tag.
For example, the input tag
has no closing tag; there is no matching
/input
tag. If the closing tag is optional, the
ENDTAG
attribute should be set to
Yes.
Optional
tagformat
Specifies the tag’s formatting rules. In
Dreamweaver versions before Dreamweaver
MX, these rules were stored in the
SourceFormat.txt file.
Optional
tagformat.indentcontents
Specifies whether the contents of this tag
should be indented.
