Of all the changes introduced with VTML 2 in HomeSite and ColdFusion Studio 4.0 the ones relating to tag attributes are maybe the most significant ones. This document describes a whole new section in a Tag Definition file: ATTRIBCATEGORIES which is used (only) by the Tag Inspector.
Since this is a new section, it will be ignored by the programs that support only VTML 1 (HomeSite and ColdFusion Studio 3.x).
ATTRIBCATEGORIES plays a role in the following VTML-driven tools:
This tag can occur only within a TAG tag in a Tag Definition file.
The ATTRIBCATEGORIES section is a container for ATTRIBGROUP tags which organize different attributes into logical groups. These groups are shown in Tag Inspector in the "Categorized" view. ATTRIBGROUP is the only possible tag in this section.
An empty or missing ATTRIBCATEGORIES section is allowed but this is not recommended: when the section is missing or empty a message is displayed when the user chooses the "Categorized" tool button: "Categorization information for this tag is not available". If categorization information is available in the ATTRIBCATEGORIES section, Tag Inspector will show the attributes summed up in the ATTRIBGROUP tags under the headings defined with the NAME attribute.

The ATTRIBCATEGORIES section can contain only one type of tag: the ATTRIBGROUP tag, which has its own reference page; the tag name in the table below links to this page.
| Tag | Description |

| ATTRIBGROUP |
An ATTRIBGROUP tag organizes a number of attributes into a logical grouping; This grouping is used by Tag Inspector for the Categorized view. Categories can overlap: an attribute can be part of more than one group. |
