Editing schemes
You can edit the styles for a code coloring scheme either by editing the code coloring file or by 
selecting the Code Coloring category in the Dreamweaver Preferences dialog box, as shown in 
the following figure:
For fields that you can specify more than once, such as stringStart, specify color and style 
settings only on the first tag. Data will be lost when you split color and style settings across 
tags and you later edit the colors or styles by using the Preferences dialog box.

Macromedia recommends that you create backup copies of all XML files before you 
make changes. You should verify all manual changes before you edit color and style 
settings using the Preferences dialog box. Data will be lost if you edit an invalid XML file 
using the Preferences dialog box.
