option:
• Select a paragraph format (for example, Heading 1, Heading 2, Preformatted Text, and so on). The HTML tag
associated with the selected style (for example,
h1 for Heading 1, h2 for Heading 2, pre for Preformatted text, and
so on) is applied to the entire paragraph.
• Select None to remove a paragraph format.
When you apply a heading tag to a paragraph, Dreamweaver automatically adds the next line of text as a standard
paragraph. To change this setting, select Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Dreamweaver > Preferences (Macintosh);
then in the General category, under Editing Options, make sure Switch To Plain Paragraph After Heading is not
selected.
