Using Dreamweaver on a Mac.  In the file browser panel, html files have an icon that looks like a page with the corner turned down.  I have two files that show a </> instead.  Why?  What does the different icon mean?  Thank you.

    < / > = HTML or SVG files.

    < ? > = PHP files.

    { } = CSS files.

    / = Cloaked fiiles

    White page with turned down corner = PDF.

    Scroll = JS Script.

    Folder = Folder

    Picture = image files.

     

    Hope that helps.

    The icons will vary by file extension, at least, on Windows we get...

    </> is .html
    <?> is .php

    {} is .css
    page icon is .txt
    image icon for .jpg
    pdf icon for .pdf
    scroll icon for .js
