About working with HTML

Microsoft FrontPage provides a variety of features that help you edit HTML more easily.

• IntelliSense provides you with a list of available choices when you're adding tags or attributes.
• The Quick Tag Selector enables you to select entire tags, or the contents of tags, without having to switch to Code view.
• All of the standard editing commands are also available for editing code. For example, you can Copy, Cut, Paste, Find, and Replace while editing your Web page.
• The properties of HTML tags are displayed so you can change them yourself.
• Line numbering helps you to locate and move between specific lines of code.

HTML formatting defines how the code is structured on the page. The basic formatting techniques — line breaks, white space, and indentation — make HTML easier to read and edit.

You can specify these settings in FrontPage and set the font color and size uniquely for tags, attributes, values, and scripts. You can also specify settings to keep the format of the original code, or to apply new format settings to pages you edit.
