DREAMWEAVER CS3 44 Extending Dreamweaver Dreamweaver provides the JavaScript function dreamweaver.reloadCodeColoring(), which enables you to reload code coloring XML files that might have been edited manually. For more information on this function, see the Dreamweaver API Reference. To update a code coloring scheme or add a new scheme, you must modify the code coloring definition files. Code coloring files Dreamweaver defines code coloring styles and schemes in XML files that reside in the Configuration/CodeColoring folder. A code coloring style file defines styles for fields that are defined in syntax definitions. It has a root node of . A code coloring scheme file defines code coloring syntax and has a root node of . The code coloring style file that Dreamweaver provides is Colors.xml. The code coloring syntax files that Dreamweaver provides are CodeColoring.xml, ASP JavaScript.xml, ASP VBScript.xml, ASP.NET CSharp.xml, and ASP.NET VB.xml. The following excerpt from the Colors.xml file illustrates the hierarchy of tags in a code coloring style file: Colors are specified in red-green-blue (RGB) hexadecimal values. For example, the statement text="009999" in the preceding XML code assigns a blue-green (teal) color to the ID "CodeColor_JavascriptNative".

Dreamweaver provides the JavaScript function

dreamweaver.reloadCodeColoring()

, which enables you to

reload code coloring XML files that might have been edited manually. For more information on this function, see

the

Dreamweaver API Reference

To update a code coloring scheme or add a new scheme, you must modify the code coloring definition files.

Code coloring files

Dreamweaver defines code coloring styles and schemes in XML files that reside in the Configuration/CodeColoring

folder. A code coloring style file defines styles for fields that are defined in syntax definitions. It has a root node of

. A code coloring scheme file defines code coloring syntax and has a root node of

The code coloring style file that Dreamweaver provides is Colors.xml. The code coloring syntax files that Dream-

weaver provides are CodeColoring.xml, ASP JavaScript.xml, ASP VBScript.xml, ASP.NET CSharp.xml, and

ASP.NET VB.xml.

The following excerpt from the Colors.xml file illustrates the hierarchy of tags in a code coloring style file:

Colors are specified in red-green-blue (RGB) hexadecimal values. For example, the statement
