glance at the Summary for Selection pane while the paragraph in question is selected will show just
the property for the
.openingParagraph rule.
How do you tell which rule a displayed property is from? Dreamweaver offers a number of meth-
ods. Hover your cursor over any property in the Summary for Selection pane and the property’s
location—both rule and document—appear in a tooltip. The Rules pane provides another alterna-
tive. Click any property in the Summary for Selection pane and, if the Rules pane is in the About
view, you’ll see a brief sentence describing the property’s location. When in Rules view, the Rules
pane shows a cascade of all of the—you guessed it—rules affecting the current selection; the one
containing the property selected in the Summary for Selection pane is highlighted as shown in Fig-
ure 7-3. You switch between the About view and the Rules view by clicking the Show Information
about Selected Property button and the Show Cascade of Rules for Selected Tag button, respectively,
located on the right of the Rules pane title bar.
Move your cursor over any property in the Rules pane while in Rules view to see the tool-
tip that notes both the property’s location and specificity.
