To update the entire site or all documents that use a particular template: 1 Choose Modify > Templates > Update Pages. The Update Pages dialog box appears. 2 In the Look In pop-up menu, do one of the following: • Choose Entire Site, and then choose the site name from the adjacent pop-up menu. This updates all pages in the selected site to their corresponding templates. • Choose Files That Use, and then choose the template name from the adjacent pop-up menu. This updates all pages in the current site that use the selected template. 3 Make sure Templates is selected in the Update option. (To update library items at the same time, make sure Library Items is also selected. See "Creating, managing, and editing library items" on page 396 for more information.) 4 Click Start. Dreamweaver updates the files as indicated. If you selected the Show Log option, Dreamweaver provides information about the files it attempts to update, including information on whether they were updated successfully. Exporting and importing XML content You can think of a document based on a template as containing a set of data represented by name/value pairs. Each pair consists of the name of an editable region, and the contents of that region. For example, suppose your template contains three editable regions: item_number, item_price, and item_color. You could fully describe a document based on that template by providing the name of the template and three name/value pairs, one for each editable region. Dreamweaver lets you export those name/value pairs into an XML file so that you can work with the data from the document outside of Dreamweaver (in an XML editor, for example, or a text editor, or even a database application). Conversely, if you have an XML document that's structured appropriately, you can import the data from it into a document based on a Dreamweaver template. 392 Chapter 16
