Viewing server-side includes in Dreamweaver

By default, Dreamweaver processes all nonconditional server-side includes and displays them in the Document window.

To specify which files are processed or to turn off processing of server-side includes:

1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Translation.
2 Select Server-Side Includes from the list of translators.
3 Select one of the following options for translating server-side includes:
In All Files Is the default setting; leave this turned on to see the content of included files displayed in the Document window.
In No Files Turns off all processing of server-side includes in Dreamweaver.
In Files with Extensions Causes Dreamweaver to process server-side includes only in files that end in .stm, .html, .htm, .shtml, or .shtm.
In Files Matching One of These Expressions Causes Dreamweaver to scan the document for matches to the listed regular expressions; if any matches are found, Dreamweaver processes any server-side includes in the document.
