Viewing server-side includes in Dreamweaver

By default, Dreamweaver processes all nonconditional server-side includes and displays them in the Document window.

To change which files are processed or to turn off processing of server-side includes:

1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Translation.
2 Select Server-Side Includes from the list of translators.
3 Select one of the following options for translating server-side includes:
In All Files Is the default setting; there is no reason to change this setting unless you would rather not see the content of included files displayed in the Document window.
In No Files Turns off all processing of server-side includes in Dreamweaver.
In Files with Extensions Processes server-side includes only in files that end in .stm, .html, .htm, .shtml, or .shtm.
In Files Matching One of These Expressions First scans the document for matches to the listed regular expression(s), and if any are found, it then processes any server-side includes in the document.
