Customizing the
Development Environment
This chapter introduces the Visual Tools Markup Language (VTML) and the Wizard
Markup Language (WIZML), tag-based languages that are used internally by
HomeSite+ for Dreamweaver MX.
You can use VTML to generate tag-specific dialog boxes and other user interface
elements for entering and editing HTML, XHTML, CFML, JSP, and all other
supported language elements.
WIZML enables you to design and build custom wizards to gather user input and to
drive application output.
See the VTML Help Reference for the full syntax and descriptions of both languages.
