Does anyone know what content management system puts stuff like "< !-- #BeginEditable -->" in the html code?

[Buddha Bart]

I've seen a bunch of sites with the < !--#BeginEditable--> and < !--#EndEditable--> syntax embedded in their HTML code, so its either the by-product of how some CMS works, or its just a web-programmers convention I hadn't heard of. Does anyone recognize this and perhaps know of or work with the CMS that does it?

The hashmark/pound after the opening sequence usually indicates a Server-Side Include directive... regular comments don't have the hashmark.

Thanks. Now do you mean Macromedia Contribute (their CMS-like application) or is there literally a way to mark off "editable" and "uneditable" sections of a site using dreamweaver? Would you know of any links to tutorials/articles about this?

Actually no, I googled it (google groups, google web hit too many pages using this). Found it in the Dreamweaver groups and found some other referenes to DW there...

It's Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver let's you create template pages that you can use to create a site. When you fcrete a template, you define "editable regions". These regions are marked in the code like what you posted above. You can create new pages based on your template, and you're only able to edit the stuff inside the editable regions. The cool part is that if you need to change the template (say, add another link to a sidebar) you open the template, make your changes, andw hen you save it, Dreamweaver automatically updates every file that is based on that template to include the new changes. The editable regions define the content that is unique to each page, and the template defines the content that is the same on every page.
