Add space between characters
HTML only allows for one space between characters; to add additional space in a document you must insert a non-
breaking space. You can set a preference to automatically add non-breaking spaces in a document.
Insert a non-breaking space
❖ Do one of the following:
• Select Insert > HTML > Special Characters > Non-Breaking Space.
• Press Control+Shift+Spacebar (Windows) or Option+Spacebar (Macintosh).
• In the Text category of the Insert panel, click the Characters button and select the Non-Breaking Space icon.
Set a preference to add non-breaking spaces
1 Select Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Dreamweaver > Preferences (Macintosh).
2 In the General category make sure Allow Multiple Consecutive Spaces is checked.
Add paragraph spacing
Dreamweaver works similarly to many word processing application: you press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh)
to create a new paragraph. Web browsers automatically insert a blank line of space between paragraphs. You can add a
single line of space between paragraphs by inserting a line break.
Add a paragraph return
❖ Press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh).
Add a line break
❖ Do one of the following:
• Press Shift+Enter (Windows) or Shift+Return (Macintosh).
• Select Insert > HTML > Special Characters > Line Break.
• In the Text category of the Insert panel, click the Characters button and select the Line Break icon.
Create bulleted and numbered lists
You can create numbered (ordered) lists, bulleted (unordered) lists, and definition lists from existing text or from new
text as you type in the Document window.
Definition lists do not use leading characters like bullet points or numbers and are often used in glossaries or
descriptions. Lists can also be nested. Nested lists are lists that contain other lists. For example, you might want an
ordered or bulleted list nested within another numbered or ordered list.
You use the List Properties dialog box to set the appearance of an entire list or for an individual list item. You can set
number style, reset numbering, or set bullet style options for individual list items or for the entire list.
