Chapter 18: Code

The code functions let you perform operations on a document that appears in Code view. These

operations include adding new menu or function tags to a code hints menu, finding and

replacing string patterns, deleting the current selection from a document, printing all or selected

code, editing tags, or applying syntax formatting to selected code.

The functions described in this chapter are grouped into the following sections:

•

“Code functions” on page 388

•

“Find and replace functions” on page 392

•

“General editing functions” on page 397

•

“Print function” on page 412

•

“Quick Tag Editor functions” on page 413

•

“Code view functions” on page 415

•

“Tag editor and tag library functions” on page 431

Code functions

Code Hints are menus that Adobe® Dreamweaver® CS3 opens when you type certain character

patterns in Code view. Code Hints provide a typing shortcut by offering a list of strings that

potentially complete the string you are typing. If the string you are typing appears in the menu,

you can scroll to it and press Enter or Return to complete your entry. For example, when you type

, a pop-up menu shows a list of tag names. Instead of typing the rest of the tag name, you can

select the tag from the menu to include it in your text.

You can add Code Hints menus to Dreamweaver by defining them in the CodeHints.xml file. For

information on the CodeHints.xml file, see
