Dreamweaver in a Nutshell

Text Formatting

Dreamweaver supports the entire gamut of HTML page- and object-formatting elements. This section describes how to format paragraphs, fonts, and lists, plus how to create horizontal rules and set page properties. Chapter 10 discusses the augmentation of these elements with CSS properties. The HTML Styles panel, discussed in Chapter 11, can also be used to set text formatting properties.

Paragraph Formatting (Alignment and Styles)

Table 2-9 lists paragraph and text formatting options. These options also work on other objects, such as images, that are embedded within a paragraph. Many of these options can also be set via the Property inspector. See Table 2-11 for character formatting commands.
