What is VTM file?

VTM files are source code files of the Visual Tool Markup Language (VTML). The Macromedia (now Adobe) VTML was used to extend the ColdFusion Studio and Dreamweaver development environment (with HomeSite +).

The VTML language can be used to create tag-specific dialog boxes and other UI elements that can be used to generate code fragments specified after user input.

In the Dreamweaver folder under 'configurationTagLibraries' you can find VTM files for different purposes and languages (eg HTML, CSS, ASP.Net). These can be changed in Dreamweaver via 'Edit-> Tag Libraries' and used via the 'Insert-> Tag' menu.

A less commonly used alternative ending is vtml.
