CSS Source Format preferences
Just as the format of HTML code matters to many Web designers, so does the format of the embedded or
attached CSS code. Clicking the CSS button opens the CSS Source Format Options dialog box (Figure 4-21),
which offers a range of controls to stylize your style sheets.
FIGURE 4-21
Control your CSS look-and-feel with the CSS Source Format Options.
Most designers find that, like HTML code, CSS code is easier to read if it is indented. The
Indent Properties option enables you to set the amount of tabs or spaces to use for each indentation.
Readability is also enhanced by selecting the Each Property On Separate Line option, which has two
related options: you can force the opening brace ({) onto a separate line if you prefer and restrict the rule to
a single line if there is only one property. You??™ll also have the choice to keep all your selectors on the same
line and to place a blank line between defined rules.
The format of your CSS, perhaps even more than your HTML, is completely up to the designer??™s personal
preferences.
