Dreamweaver Tutorial: Add Paragraphs
Almost all web pages include some type of text formatted in paragraphs. Much like a word processor, you can insert text by positioning the cursor in the Document Window and Dreamweaver and typing the text. Hit enter at the end of the paragraph and Dreamweaver adds a blank line after the text. Dreamweaver adds the following HTML source code to your paragraph of text:
<p>Your paragraph of text</p>
Note: The <p> is called an opening paragraph tag and the </p> is called a closing paragraph tag.
Any time text is added to a web page, the default text properties for font, size, alignment, and so forth is applied to the text. You can also change the formatting of the text in several ways including the use of the Properties Panel.
Dreamweaver Tutorial: Add Headings
You can also create Headings on your web page. Dreamweaver changes the HTML tags in the source code from <p> tags to heading tags which are signified by <h1>, <h2>, <h3> and so forth.
Heading tags provide a way to organize your page with headings of various sizes to indicate relative importance or to provide a framework or outline for your page. See the code example below:
<h1>This is the heading surrounded by heading tags</h1>
This is what the <h1> heading tag looks like for this page.
<h1>Heading 1</h1>
<h2>Heading 2</h2>
<h3>Heading 3</h3>
<h4>Heading 4</h4>
<h5>Heading 5</h5>
In the headings above the size, font, color, and style are all formatted by a CSS page. But as you can see they get progressively smaller to indicate major topics, sub-topics, etc.
To add paragraphs and headings, click in the Document Window and type the paragraph text. Press enter at the end of each paragraph. For any text that you want to turn into a heading, right click on the paragraph you want to format and select the
