Custom TagLibrary Definition

[Marco Stoll]

Hi,
I have a question regarding the custom tag library deinitions of Dreamweaver 8.
This question concerns the XML compatibility definitions auf custom tags.

First an example of one of my custom tags.
----------------------------------------
<tag name="tml_set" <b>endtag="no"</b> tagtype="empty"> <tagformat
nlbeforetag="0" nlaftertag="0" />
<attributes>
<attrib name="value" type="text"/>
<attrib name="label" type="text"/>
</tag>
-------------------------------------

Now I'm looking for a way to decalre that this is a non-container-tag that
should be closed if used in an XHTML document (<tml_set label="mylabel"
value="myvalue" />) and should not if used in a "normal" HTML document.
(<tml_set label="mylabel" value="myvalue">).
I think thatr this should be done by providing the right value in the
<b>endtag</b> attribute of the xml definition of the tag. But I don't know
which value to use. Other examples I found used <b>endtag="xml"</b>. But this
leads to a closing of non-container-tags regardless of the doc type of the
current document.

If you have any advice or experience with this kind of problem, please leave
your reply.

TIA,
Marco Stoll

Marco,

I don't think that there's a way for a DW Tag Library to control what
type of page the user applies it on.

The "non-container-tag" shouldn't cause any problems if it's closed on
non-XHTML page. If so, please provide an example so we can see the whole
picture.

Thanks,
Randy
