DW CC v13.1 build 6443: modify new document template

Report · Sep 06, 2018

Hello, all,

When you use CTRL-N or click FILE > NEW to create a new document, a document is opened and it contains the basic HTML start (doctype, head tags, body tags, etc.)

I'd like to customize this, a little bit. What file do I need to edit?

V/r,

For Windows, it's at C: > Program Files > Adobe > Dreamweaver (version) > configuration > Document Types > NewDocuments > Default.html

Not 100% on the location for Macs, but it's not in the "personal Configuration folder" it's in the program's "little c" configuration folder. Something along the lines of Macintosh HD > Applications > Adobe > Dreamweaver (version) > configuration > Document Types > NewDocuments > Default.html

When I change it, I save it to the desktop, then copy it back to the location using my system admin rights.

It's in a similar place on Macs. Applications --> Adobe Dreamweaver {version} --> configuration --> Document Types --> New Documents --> Default.html

Mine was actually in C: > Program Files (x86) > Adobe > Dreamweaver CC > configuration > Document Types > NewDocuments > Default.html

Thank you!

OPS.. I typed too soon. That is the location for a HTML4.01 document.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> is the first line.

I can't find the one for <!DOCTYPE html>. (gasp)

Nope, that is the right one, DW switches the doctype depending on what you have selected in the prefs.

Oh. I'll give it a shot, then, and see. Thank you.
