The Template window contains the Web templates that you edit in the design process and that form the basis of your Web applications.

•         The Layout tab page

You determine the layout of the Web application in the layout view. See Designing the Layout of Web Templates and Context Menu in Web Templates for the available options.

Each element of the HTML syntax has a different color:

Syntax Element	Color
