How do I format my HTML code? How to I remove the extra blank lines in the code quickly and easily?

Posted February 16, 2005

Because I am a designer, I am able to read code, but I can’t read it when it is all on one line jammed together. Table tags running into table row tags, that run into the table data tags, and so on. So I spend a good deal of time formatting HTML code if it isn’t already from previous work at Esystems.

Alot of times I will delete whole lines and have blank spaces and have to drag my mouse and hit delete. This is a two step process that I do a ton and this tip will help cut that time down greatly.

To remove spaces in your code, just double-click in any of the spaces, and Dreamweaver will highlight that code and then just hit “delete” and it will take it out.

A small little nuance, but can save a ton of time if you are deleting spaces as much as I do. And in one day I may edit anywhere from 25-50 different web pages.
