7.2 Create a basic templage

We can create a new template from scratch or we can turn an existing HTML page into a template.
  1. With an HTML file open in Dreamweaver, choose File > Save As Template. Name this practice.
  2. The new template appears in the Assets panel.
  • Place your cursor where you want to create an editable area. Choose Insert > Template Objects > Editable Region
  • Give the region a human readable name that will make sense to you and the team working on this site.
  • Click OK; save.
