A look at the HTML Styles panel
Let's start by looking in the HTML Styles panel to see the HTML styles that ship with Dreamweaver.
To open the HTML Styles panel, do one of the following:
The HTML Styles panel displays the HTML Styles which are available for the current local site.
There are two types of HTML Styles which you can identify by the symbol in the first column of the HTML Styles panel:
 |
Paragraph Styles are preceded by a paragraph mark and allow you to format paragraphs. |
|
Selection Styles are preceded by an a and allow you to format text you have selected. |
The first two styles in the HTML Styles panel, Clear Selection Style and Clear Paragraph Style, let you remove all format tags from the text you have selected to clear.
In the HTML Styles panel above, notice the Bold style. A plus sign (+) preceding a style indicates the style adds formatting to the text it is applied to. If a style doesn't have a plus sign, any existing style is cleared before the selected style is applied. For example, using the HTML Style "a+ Red" simply adds red to any formatting which has already been applied to the selected text, while using the HTML style "Emphasis" clears any existing formatting before applying this style.
