Chapter 16: Templates

This chapter went through how to create templates in Dreamweaver. It helps to allow you to create a design from which to work from in order to ensure that all pages have the same formatting. If you want to make a change to the formatting, you only need to change the template and have it apply changes to all pages. Creating library items was also covered in the chapter. Library items let you store certain data pieces (such as copyright information) that you may use throughout the site and store them in a library. This way, you can update the library item without having to find all instances of that particular data (every instance of a copyright) and the changes are automatic throughout the website. The features in this chapter would be particularly useful in designing and maintaining a large and complex website.
