Dreamweaver MX has its own templating system.
Took me about an hour, hour and a half, to write a primitive HTML::Template
to dreamweaver template.
The biggest trick is that dreamweaver parameters should be "declared" in a
section (we usually put it at the end of the <head /> before they are used.
Using vars before and after declaration has different syntax.
Here are a couple sample lines, dealing with the basic variables...
BEFORE DECLARATION:
s#<TMPL_VAR \s+ NAME="?([^"]*?)"? \s* >#<!-- TemplateBeginEditable
name="$1" --><!-- TemplateEndEditable -->#gx;
AFTER DECLARATION: @@(varname)@@ syntax
s#<TMPL_VAR \s+ NAME="?([^"]*?)"? \s* >#@@($1)@@#gx;
I _said_ it was primitive.
Dreamweaver MX also seems to hate any template tags before the xmlDecl or
<html> start tag.

Subject: [htmltmpl] Tag-within-tag question
This is arguably not a HTML::Template question but since not many
people besides HTML::Template users will have encountered this
situation I will ask here.
I have a lot of template code like
<OPTION <TMPL_IF NAME=foo>SELECTED</TMPL_IF>>Foo</OPTION>
and similar for radio buttons and checkboxes. A customer's favorite
HTML editing application (DreamWeaver) does not like this syntax, and
persists in changing it to
<OPTION><TMPL_IF NAME=foo>SELECTED</TMPL_IF>>Foo</OPTION>
^
(It inserts the extra >).
This after fiddling with DW's options for rewriting HTML, and also
trying the comment form of <TMPL_IF>.
I can see two choices, equally unpleasant:
(1) Get customer to use another HTML editor. Only choice appears to be
emacs/vi. Customer will detest this option.
(2) Have my application output the whole <OPTION> tag via a <TMPL_VAR>
instead of just the SELECTED attribute. I detest this option because
customer will not be able to switch between checkboxes, radio buttons,
and menus without bugging me.
Has anyone else encountered this situation and found a third solution?
