Indenting Text
Dreamweaver has a very easy way to accomplish an indent of text. The process works very similar to the way MS Word accomplishes an indent. Let's see what this looks like first.
This line of text is not indented
This line of text is indented
Depending on the size of the font, the indent serves to setoff your text. Technically, the indent process in Dreamweaver causes an HTML tag called 'blockquote' to be inserted in front of the selected text that needs to be indented. The actual code for the above indented line looks like this:
<blockquote>
<p align="left"><font size="2" face="Arial,
Helvetica, sans-serif">This line
of text is indented</font></p>
</blockquote>
The reverse of indenting is called 'outdenting' and there are two buttons in the property box for indenting and outdenting. Outdenting is when you change your mind or indented (put too many blockquote tags) and simply removes a blockquote tag. In the Design View, you won't see the tags, only see the text moving left and right. Perhaps a quick movie would show you the process.
