HTML 5 And Css3 Creating A Template

[nomadrw]

Greetings:

I'm using DreamWeaver CS4 to create a HTML5 template and I'm not sure how to create the template. The older templates HTM3, 4 you made a template with Editable Regions and saved it with a template name (ie bytestemplate) You then create your web pages and inserted the template into the pages. The template if you need to make any changes you could do so and all the pages within the template would change.
Question can HTML5 do this with the Article tag or with some other tag or do I use the editable Regions within the Article tag.
Hope that made sense.

Any Help would be great.

Thanks

So, I am wondering what you mean my "template". After reading your question, it seems like you want to know how to create something that you can apply to your web pages that when you need to make changes, it applies to all the pages correct? This may be a simple confusion of lingo here, but I believe you would mean a cascading style sheet (CSS)? HTML5 has made a lot of changes conerning how you write the style sheet. I rarely ever use the article tag, so I am not sure what function you are trying to perform by using it? I can probably tell you what you need to use instead. To answer your question, I hope, HTML5 does have the capability to create one 'template' that you can apply to multiple pages, so all the pages withing the template will change. These tags will include DIV, P, H1, etc... all attached to specific attributes such as id=wrapper, id=header, class=title, etc... which are defined on the style sheet.

 

Please reply if that didn't answer your question or if you have other questions about it. I would be happy to help.

Dreamweaver provides it's own proprietary templating system. I got passed a site that used them one time - huge pain in the a$$.
