Tag Libraries and Editors 111
Note: In versions before Dreamweaver MX, tag information is stored in the Configuration/TagAttributeList.txt file.
The Tag Chooser
The Tag Chooser lets the user view tags in functional groups so that they can easily access
frequently used tags. In order to add a tag or a set of tags to the Tag Chooser, a user must add
them to the Tag Library. This can be done using the tag library editor dialog box or by installing
a Dreamweaver extension (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.
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
