DW CC – Advanced Code Coloring XML

Does DW CC support the CodeColoring.xml file, or has this been replaced with something new?
For example: With earlier versions I could color all attributes independently as follows:
File: CodeColoring.xml
Sytax location: <scheme name="HTML" id="HTML" doctypes="ASP.NET_VB,ASP.NET_CSharp,ASP-JS,ASP-VB,ColdFusion,CFC,HTML,JSP,PHP_MySQL,Libra ryItem,WML,XSLT" priority="50">
Syntax: <defaultAttribute name="Attribute" id="Attribute" />
Colored syntax:

In recent versions of Dreamweaver, changes to code colouring and similar configuration changes need to be made in your personal configuration folder, not in the main configuration folder.
Details of how to find your personal configuration folder are in the Dreamweaver FAQ: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2260994.

Import code coloring xml and code snippets into dreamweaver cc 2014

How do I import my code coloring xml file and code snippets from the earlier version of dreamweaver into cc 2014?

Thanks, Preran. After uninstalling the 2014.1 update and reinstalling the previous version, I now installed the 2014.1 update again. Instead of jumping straight into restoring the preferences, I decided to test it out as-is, and it worked! No problems with pasting after opening any of my five browsers. I wonder what may have gone wrong the first time...or what was corrected during the uninstall/reinstall process. In any case, it is working again now and I am grateful. Thanks!

Color code from XML to Color.setRGB method

add "0x" before the hex number.

Adding code-coloring to file with nonstandard extension

I have PHP files that end in .ctp, which are basically HTML templates with PHP mixed in (as part of the Cake PHP framework). I'd like them to be parsed for code coloring the same way that the PHP files are, but the text is all black. Is there a way that I can tell Dreamweaver to parse it for PHP code coloring? I have already added ".ctp" to the list of file types that open in Code View using DW's Preferences.
This is CS4.
Thanks!

Nevermind - I figured it out from here, you just have to edit an XML file to include the new extension that should be treated as PHP:

Use PHP code coloring in HTML files

In Dreamweaver CS3, what changes do I need to make to get PHP
code coloring show up in .html files?

robot88888888,
First, copy this file from the app config folder:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver
CS3\configuration\CodeColoring\PHP.xml
To the user config folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application
Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver
9\Configuration\CodeColoring\
Then open PHP.xml in your favorite editor. You need to add
HTML to all
of the doctype lists Change every occurrence of this:
doctypes="PHP_MySQL"
to be:
doctypes="PHP_MySQL,HTML"
Save and close. If DW is running, close it. Now restart DW.

Code Coloring

My network administrator informed me that he would like to
use all .htm file extensions on our site, and that he will program
the server to render PHP tags within the .htm files for our
web-apps.
However, for development work I would still like to apply the
PHP code-coloring within files that have .htm extension. Can I tell
Dreamweaver to do this?
Thanks!

What was old is new again!
Similar to the original poster, my IT area has set up the web server to process all .HTM files as if they were .ASP. Subsequently, I cannot view my HTM files as they would appear if they were "true" ASP files in Dreamweaver CS5. I applied the changes described in TechNote 16410 to MMDocumentTypes.xml (removing the HTM extension from the winfileextension and macfileextension attirbutes of the HTML InternalType and adding the HTM extension to the winfileextension and macfileextension attirbutes of the ASP-VBScript InternalType). I moved HTM in Extensions.txt from the HTML Documents line to Active Server Pages line and I removed the backup I had made of MMDocumentTypes.xml from the Adobe directory.
Based on another posting in this forum regarding code coloring, I added <%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"%> to the first line of my HTM (ASP) file.
No matter which file with the HTM extension I open in Dreamweaver, I get this message:
I also need to terminate Dreamweaver using Windows XP's Task Manager. File > Close, the application close button, Ctrl+Q and Alt+F4 do not work.

Code Coloring does not stick

The changes I make in the Preferences section under Code Coloring do not always stick. I even tried replacing the Colors.xml file with someone else's theme. That does not come through. I replaced it both under my Configuration/Code Coloring folder which appears under Applications as well as my User folder.
I don't understand why some of the changes take and others not. Should there not be an easier way to do this??
Any clues as to how I can make the new (external) Colors.xml stick would be appreciated.

CS5. And I should say, the instructions given on the Adobe site on how to swap out the colors.xml file indicate a folder that doesn't exist. There is no Preferences folder. It's Configurations.

As far as I know (could be wrong here), DW does not allow you to alter the behavior of htm(l) files. The technote is aimed at adding new file types that DW doesn't already recognize.

Code Coloring - adding extensions

Does anyone know how to make .inc files (or any extension)
use the .php code coloring scheme (or any scheme) in Dreamweaver 9
(CS3)? The tech note I found among these messages applies to
Dreamweaver MX, but not all configuration files mentioned in the
tech article are found in the DW9/CS3 configuration.

theopan,
OK, I think I understand the problem now. The
MMDocumentTypes.xml file
is no longer automatically copied from the Application
Configuration
folder to the User Configuration folder, so you need to
manually copy it.
Hope this helps,
Randy

Cs3 color setting xml file location ( colors.xml )

In previous versions of dreamweaver ( or previous to windows
vista ) I was able to access this file via documents and settings
and then into the macromedia subfolders.
It contained the file colors.xml which held my code coloring
preferences.
Any idea where that file would be in CS3 adn Vista?

I haven't created any custom colours, but Vista search found
this for me
in seconds:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver
CS3\configuration\CodeColoring\Colors.xml
I presume that if an individual user creates a set of custom
colours,
the XML file will be in the Roaming folder.

Code Coloring - black background

Has somebody Dreamweaver 8 configured to use black background
in Code Editor? If so, please distribute the ColorCodings XML files
somewhere.
Thank you very much
cs

If you are comfortable manually editing Registry/Preferences
and raw
XML, then try this:
1. Shutdown DW
2. Edit Configuration/CodeColors/Colors.xml and do a global
change of
"#000000" (black) to "#FFFFFF" (white).
Note: be sure to edit Colors.xml in your User (not
Application)
Configuration folder. This TechNote explains the difference:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16420
3. (On Windows) Using regedit, go to:
\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 8\Tag
Colors
Change all "#000000" (black) values to "#FFFFFF" (white)
Change "Background Color" to "#000000"
Close regedit
4. Restart DW.
You may need to tweak a few settings in Code Coloring editor,
but that
should get you most of the way there.
Hope this helps,
Randy

Sass scss code coloring and code hinting

Cannot get Dreamweaver to treat .scss files as style sheets with CSS code coloring and code hinting?
Have tried editing the MMDocumentTypes.xml file located in the /Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5/Configuration/DocumentTypes folder, as recommended by other users having this issue. Still no code coloring or code hinting. I suspect there may be multiple MMDocumentTypes.xml files and I need to find the correct one?
O.S.: OSX Mavericks
Dreamweaver: CS5.5

It sounds like DW does not recognize the file type of your
page. What is
the file extension?

Trying to use windows in high contrast mode but DW CC goes all black background too and I loose code coloring. I dont mind the black, but code coloring must be essential

Is there a way to keep the code coloring when using windows in high contrast appearance?

Sorry, I don't have your version, but have you checked in your personal configuration folder and editing these files?
https://forums.adobe.com/message/2260994#2260994
CodeColoring.xml
Colors.xml
You can also download color schemes like

Copy code color scheme

I've got code coloring schemes for several document types
tweaked until they're just what I like. How do I copy one (say, my
.asp scheme) to a different document type? What about if the
document type (.inc) is one that's not on the list at
Preferences|Code Coloring?

There's no way to do that through the DW UI, but you can do
it by
manually editing some Configuration files.
Start by reading this TechNote:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_16420
This describes the difference between the "application" and
"user"
Configuration folders and where to find them on your system.
It's best
to edit files in the user config folder, not the *parallel*
app config
folder. You may have to first copy a file from the app config
folder to
the user config folder before you can edit it.
Now, take a look at the Configuration/CodeColoring/Colors.xml
file. You
should find a <colorGroup> tag with one of the ASP
doctypes listed with
your changes. You can either add the new doctypes to the
list, or just
remove the doctypes attributes so that the colors apply to
all doctypes.
