.lbi File Extension

Not sure what this code means...

Hi!

I'm looking at some weird code, and I'm not sure what it does...

Could somebody explain the following:

<!-- #BeginLibraryItem "/Library/nav.lbi" -->
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

When I look at this nav.lbi file, it's just some regular HTML navigation that on the left hand side of the page...

Why would anybody use this?

looks to me like it's some kind of include file
perhaps used by Dreamweaver

but as I don't use this programme I can't tell for sure..

It's a Dreamweaver library, sort of a developer-side include capability for managing static HTML. Its sibling is the Dreamweaver template, extension .dwt. Both are developer software files which do not need to be located on the server; you can delete them.

When you modify a library or template using DW, the software will give you the option to scan all the local files recognized as part of your site and replace the content. The comment tag is required if you want to continue using DW, because that is how it determines where libraries and templates and editable areas of each begin and end.

If no one on your team is using DW, you can delete those comments.

Oh, cool! I've never used those Dreamweaver templates, and I probably won't for this project, but it's nice to know what this is.

Thanks!
