Thanks for sharing this tutorial. It would certainly help those who are still inexperienced in using Dreamweaver.
Good grief! I’ve been working with Dreamweaver for 8 years. Clean code has always been a thing of mine, and getting it all lining up correctly would take ages. I never knew it could be done at a touch of the Format Source Code button. This 1 tip is priceless and will save me so much time. Can’t thank you enough.
