208 Chapter 11: Tag Libraries and Editors
Note: In versions before Dreamweaver MX, tag information is stored in the Configuration/
TagAttributeList.txt file.
The Tag Chooser
The Tag Chooser lets you view tags in functional groups so you can easily access frequently used
tags. In order to add a tag or a set of tags to the Tag Chooser, you must add them to the tag
library. You can do this by using the Tag Library Editor dialog box or by installing a Dreamweaver
extension, which is packaged in an MXP file
.
TagChooser.xml files
The TagChooser.xml file provides the metadata for organizing tag groupings that appear in the
Tag Chooser. Each tag that comes with Dreamweaver is stored in a functional grouping and is
available in the Tag Chooser. By editing the TagChooser.xml file, you can regroup existing tags
and group new tags. You can customize how tags are organized for your users by creating
subcategories so they can easily access their most important tags.
The TagLibraries.vtm file supports the use of the
TAGLIBRARY.TAGCHOOSER attribute, which
points to the TagChooser.xml file. If you change existing TagChooser.xml files or create new ones,
the
TAGLIBRARY.TAGCHOOSER attribute must point to the correct location for the Tag Chooser to
be fully functional.
If there is no
TAGLIBRARY.TAGCHOOSER attribute, the Tag Chooser displays the tree structure that
is in the TagLibraries.vtm file.
TagChooser.xml files are stored in Configuration/TagLibraries/Ta g L i b r a r y N a m e folder. The
following example shows the structure of TagChooser.xml files:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" standalone="yes" ?>
<tclibrary name="Friendly name for library node" desc='Description for
incorporated reference' reference="Language[,Topic[,Subtopic]]">
attrib.type
If omitted, attrib.type is "text".
It can have the following values:
TEXT—free text content
ENUMERATED—a list of enumerated values
COLOR—a color value (name or hex)
FONT—font name or font family
STYLE—CSS styles attribute
FILEPATH —a full file path
