Dreamweaver color coding (of source)

[Schiavoni]

In code view, Dreamweaver displays different elements in different color using
a style CSS. I have BLOCKS of code inside my source documents that can't be
touched. They begin with '<nexus:something>' Body of code goes here. They
end with '</nexus>' What I want to do is have Dreamweaver display the open and
close tags and EVERYTHING in between as a specific color (which means
over-riding other Dreamweaver CSS for displaying tags and text inside that
block). But, I can't figure out how to do it or where to do it. Wondered if
anyone had an insight into this. Thanks ... Carl

Carl,

Code Coloring is extensible, so you should be able to do that.

Take a look in Configuration/CodeColoring/CodeColoring.xml and search
for the "Template Comment" scheme. Use that as an example of how to
setup a <blockStart>/<blockEnd> pair to define a range of text to color
differently.

Be sure to put your changes in a new .xml file for portability.

You can find documentation here:

Hope this helps,
Randy
