Open up your rusty old text editor (or Dreamweaver) and point it to

%appdata%\Adobe\Dreamweaver9\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Configuration\TagLibraries\TagLibraries.vtm

For Mac OSX

<drive>:Users:<username>:Library:Application Support:Adobe:¬

Make a backup first. Next, insert the contents of AddToTagLibraries.vtm just before </taglibraries>

For windows 2000 & XP

%appdata%\Adobe\Dreamweaver9\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Configuration\TagLibraries

For Mac OSX

<drive>:Users:<username>:Library:Application Support:Adobe:¬
Dreamweaver 9:Configuration:TagLibraries

Make sure it is enabled for the kinds of files you want (html, txt, php...), by going into edit – Tag Libraries, scrolling down to the textpattern library and selecting the appropriate file types.

Fire up dreamweaver, Bob's should be the male counterpart to your aunt. Report any issues you might experience on the thread in the TXP forum, see link on the right.

It's all text

Firefox users might be interested in the it's all text add-on http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4125 which allows you to edit in-browser textareas using an external editor in a single click.

Adding and Modifying Tags

The tags can be modified in two ways:

1. Editing the .vtm files within the textpattern folder.
2. Use the tag library editor in dreamweaver under the edit – Tag Libraries

Contribute

This release is by no means thoroughly checked, so I'd imagine there be some typos and inconsistencies. I would appreciate it if you report them to me. If anyone is interested in collaborating, meaning using the tag library and making corrections/additions, that would be great. I would like to start a library for the plugins as well.
