Designing and Crafting Core Pages Part II
Modifying Text Format
As a Web designer, you easily spend at least as much time adjusting your text as you do getting it into your
Web pages. Luckily, Dreamweaver puts most of the tools you need for this task right at your fingertips.
Many of the text-formatting options are available through the Text Property inspector or the Tag inspector,
whether you??™re styling your text in CSS or HTML
tags.
On the Web today, designers have largely moved to using Cascading Style Sheets and away from hardcoding
text with and other tags. Both 4.0+ versions of the major Web browsers support Cascading
Style Sheets to some extent, and Internet Explorer has had some support since version 3.0. Text formatting
enjoys the most widespread browser support of all the CSS rules.
Although CSS is now the preferred method of styling text??”as well as the rest of the page??”you may still
encounter tags in legacy pages.
