Roundtrip HTML
Fig. 2
Here's a close-up of the HTML Corrections dialog box. The
tags that were fixed were either redundant, unclosed, or were improperly
overlapped.
Tips You
don't have to use an external editor. Dreamweaver is a fine
text editor for most functions. In addition, Dreamweaver for
Windows comes with a copy of Allaire HomeSite, and the Macintosh
version comes with a copy of BBEdit. You can use this editor
or a plain text editor or anything in between.

I edited my page in NoteTab and saved my changes. When I returned
to the open page in Dreamweaver, this dialog box appeared asking
me if I wished to load the saved page. |
Dreamweaver's Roundtrip HTML feature retains the format of HTML coded
outside of the Dreamweaver environment. Some other WYSIWYG editors
make their own corrections to HTML code, but the changes that Dreamweaver
makes are always minimal and essential.
You can use Dreamweaver to edit pages that have been hand-coded
in a text editor or have been created in another HTML editor. You
can also use Dreamweaver in conjunction with an external editor,
so that you can simultaneously work on the code in one environment
while using Dreamweaver for automated tasks and Dynamic HTML.
