Tridion Dreamweaver Templating (DWT) Syntax

DWT  better known in Tridion is acronym of Tridion Dreamweaver Templating. Dreamweaver is product of Adobe which they acquired from Macromedia in 2005.( Note: Flash was also part of Macromedia before 2005 :))

Dreamweaver Templates has its own syntax. Its also used in SDL Tridion for accessing components and to provide support for control structures(loop) and flow structures(if/else conditions)

Dreamweaver syntax is CASE SENSITIVE
Dreamweaver used @@ syntax or ${} to access value from variable/object.

Operator Support:

• numeric literals, string literals (double-quote syntax only), Boolean literals (true or false)
• variable reference (see the list of defined variables later in this section)
• field reference (the “dot” operator)
• unary operators: +, -, ~, !
• binary operators: +, -, *, /, %, &, |, ^, &&, ||, <, <=, >, >=, ==, !=, <<, >>
• conditional operator: ?:
• parentheses: ()
