Dreamweaver won’t let you easily save template files as .HTML files – it always asks you to «Save as Template» in to your site’s templates directory and enforces the use of the «.dwt» file extension. I figured out a simple solution to this very annoying issue…

Just include an extra «.dwt» ‘pre-extension’ in the filename – i.e. filename.dwt.html.

Why would I want to do this? Because I use Dreamweaver to build email templates for use in SmartFocus. They have a very handy WYSIWYG editor that recognises Dreamweaver Template Zones in uploaded HTML email templates. And that’s a very nice feature to have.
