Using XML tag notations

Dreamweaver lets you export XML content using either of two tag notations: editable region name tags or standard Dreamweaver XML tags. The notation you use depends on how XML content is incorporated into your Web site.

The following XML code was exported from a document based on a template named newstemplate. The document has one editable region, named Edit-Region.

	Editable region name tags use the names of editable regions as XML tags. In this example, the doctitle tag identifies the title of the template, and Edit-Region identifies the editable region.
	<doctitle> <![CDATA[<title>newstemplate</title>]]></doctitle><Edit-Region> <![CDATA[{Edit-Region}]]></Edit-Region>
	Standard Dreamweaver XML tags use the item name tag. In this example, item name="doctitle" and item name="Edit-Region" are used to identify the title of the template and the editable region.
	<item name="doctitle"> <![CDATA[ <title>newstemplate</title>]]></item><item name="Edit-Region"> <![CDATA[{Edit-Region}]]></item></item>
