Dreamweaver offers 9 formats for text:

  • Paragraph - the default format. This surrounds your text with <p> tags.
  • Heading 1 through Heading 6 - heading formats. This changes the text to a headline surrounded by one of the heading tags (h1 through h6).
  • Preformatted - preformatted text. This surrounds the text with the <pre> tag.
  • None - this removes all tags from around the text.

By default Dreamweaver assumes your text will be in paragraphs. If you have nothing written on the page, Dreamweaver will place a non-breaking space inside paragraph tags until you type something.
