RE: Dreamweaver comment.. a question

Yes, the file you want is SourceFormat.profile for DW2 or SourceFormat.txt 
for DW3 and its in the configuration folder if you have a default 
installation.

For each tag you are interested in there is a setting like:

<p break="1,0,0,1" indent>

Which means - when you format, for <p> tags, put in a line break (i.e. make 
sure all <p> tags get a new line), with 1 new line before the <p>,  no new 
lines after the <p>,  no new lines before the </p> and one line break after 
the </p> and the indent says you want the content indented on lines between 
teh <p> and </p>.

<p>So this means that a paragraph will appear in your formatted html listing 
like this.</p>
<p>So this means that a paragraph will appear in your formatted html listing 
like this.</p>
<p>So this means that a paragraph will appear in your formatted html listing 
like this.</p>

It you had it set to  <p break="2,1,0,1" indent>

you'd get this:


<p>
  So this means that a paragraph will appear in your formatted html listing 
like this.</p>

<p>
So this means that a paragraph will appear in your formatted html listing 
like this.</p>

<p>
So this means that a paragraph will appear in your formatted html listing 
like this.</p>

And you can set these parameters with any tag, allowing you to lay your code 
out however you like.  And just by copying SourceFormat.txt to other 
computers, other copies of Dreamweaver will produce code laid out exactly 
the same as yours.

Hope this helps.
