44 Chapter 2: Extending Dreamweaver

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 a custom 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>

</title>

</description>

</documenttype>

...

</documenttypes>

Note: Color coding for document types is specified in the XML files that reside in the Configuration/

CodeColoring folder.
