Dreamweaver: create a highlight style
- from within your Dreamweaver site, pull down the Text menu and select CSS
Styles, then New
- name the new style .highlight (put a period in front of the name)
- select "Class" and "This document only" (unless you know otherwise); click OK
- on the left, choose Category: Background
- now click the little grey square to the right of "Background color"
- select bright yellow or the highlighting color you'd like to use; click OK,
then OK again
- now you have a new style. Select the text passage you'd like to highlight,
then go to the Text menu, select CSS Styles, and choose your new "highlight"
style.
- ta da! you can reapply the style multiple times in your document (and if you
want to use the style in multiple documents you can make that easier too, but that
would require a few more instructions).
