Use HTML Formatting

While CSS is the preferred method for formatting text, Dreamweaver still lets you format text with HTML.

Format paragraphs

Use the Format pop-up menu in the HTML Property inspector or the Format > Paragraph Format submenu to apply

the standard paragraph and heading tags.

1 Place the insertion point in the paragraph, or select some of the text in the paragraph.

2 Using the Format > Paragraph Format submenu or the Format pop-up menu in the Property inspector, select an

option:

• Select a paragraph format (for example, Heading 1, Heading 2, Preformatted Text, and so on). The HTML tag

associated with the selected style (for example,

h1 for Heading 1, h2 for Heading 2, pre for Preformatted text, and

so on) is applied to the entire paragraph.

• Select None to remove a paragraph format.

When you apply a heading tag to a paragraph, Dreamweaver automatically adds the next line of text as a standard

paragraph. To change this setting, select Edit

> Preferences (Windows) or Dreamweaver > Preferences (Macintosh);

then in the General category, under Editing Options, make sure Switch To Plain Paragraph After Heading is not

selected.
