What’s New in Dreamweaver CS6
If you’ve never used Dreamweaver before, see Chapter 1 for the grand tour. If you’re upgrading from Dreamweaver CS3 or some other version of the program, you’ll find that Dreamweaver CS6 offers a host of new features:
HTML5 is touted by everyone from AT&T to Google to Newsweek as the next big thing (described in more detail on XHTML). It’s the first major change to HTML in years and promises to make building powerful website easier than ever. Dreamweaver CS6 provides basic support for HTML5. That means that it understands the new HTML5 tags and provides code hints as you type those tags in Code view (code-hinting lets you type a few letters of a tag and then select the tag you’re after from a pop-up menu—in other words, less typing, fewer typos, faster web page building). Unfortunately, code-hinting is only helpful if you type HTML by hand. If you prefer using Design view and clicking buttons on a user-friendly palette of HTML options, you’ll have to wait for the next version of Dreamweaver for Dreamweaver-produced HTML5 code.

It promises many new formatting controls to make web pages look beautiful, including drop shadows for text, rounded corners on boxes, background gradients, borders made of graphics, and even animated transitions from one set of CSS properties to another.
