Use the XML import and export features to separate the editable regions from locked regions in documents using templates or to merge the editable regions of a document with an existing template. This allows you to export editable content and modify it, or to develop content outside of Dreamweaver.
To export a document's editable regions as XML:
| 1 | Choose File > Open, then open a document that uses a template (and has editable regions). |
| 2 | Choose File > Export > Export Editable Regions as XML. |
| 3 | In the XML dialog box that appears, choose a tag notation and click OK. |
| For information about tag notations, see About XML tag notations. | |
| 4 | In the dialog box that appears, enter a name for the XML file and click Save. |
| When a document is exported, the generated XML file contains the name of the template the document is using and all editable region names. | |
|
To import XML content:
| 1 | Choose File > Import XML into Template. |
| 2 | Select the XML file and click Open. |
| When XML file is imported, Dreamweaver merges the XML content with the template specified in the XML file and displays the result in a new Document window. If the specified template is not found, Dreamweaver prompts you to select a template to use. | |
