Default Format-Document (Control-K,D)

Minor thing here but I am going on. When I use Format-Document for a tag, like
<h1></h1> it takes the </h1> tag and puts it on it's own line, I really would like them both to stay on the same line for short snippets.

Hi there,

Take a look at page 25, last paragraph before the gray separator line. It shows you how to customize VWD to accomplish just that.

Cheers,

Imar

Thanks Imar, and if I need to post in a different area, say by chapters I apologize, and want to do things according to Hoyle!

Default Using the Tag Specific Options

Imar,

I finally figured it out. It seemed like the h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 tags should have been configured to be on a single line. But I figured it out by looking at one of the tags like the 'form' tag and changed the options on the 'heading' tags to match, and voilà it worked.

No, you're doing fine; there's only one form / category for the entire book.

Where possible, please include page and chapter numbers in the post's topic as it makes it easier for me and other readers to find out what the post is about.

Yeah, figuring out what VWD means with the "before and after line-break stuff" can be a bit confusing at first ;-)

Cheers,

Imar

Default Book is Good.

The book is good so far, working on CSS chapter, which I like. I use CSS a lot, mostly in Dreamweaver. I logged in with Chrome today, because my Firefox has been sluggish and I have version 3.6.8, but I do open lots of tabs.

I tried to upload an avatar, but I guess that's not allowed on this forum?

I've been working a bit on the CSS chapter, and it is starting to look sharp. What I really like it is that Imar's CSS explanations are reinforcing what I have been trying to learn in CSS and CSS isn't hard, it is more of like a lawyer learning law, it just exists like law.
