Go to Edit -> Preferences and then select Code Format.<br /><br />Make sure the first checkbox is seleted, and input "1" and then select "Tabs" from the drop down menu.<br /><br />Then on the next option, Tab size, input "4" (or whatever you like).<br /><br />That worked for me! oringe 0 0 2008-09-30T18:34:12 http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/9.0/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7bdd.html#82406 Ditto to the above. After a tabbed indent then pressing newline (Enter) now results in spaces being used to pad to the same depth. All very well and it seems more "standards" compliant but why am I forced to have to delete 4 separate spaces instead of one tab to drop back an indent level? I'd like to be able to choose to be non-compliant but work quicker!

When coding, if I hit the next line, it converts the tabs to spaces, rather than leaving them as tabs, which is what I would prefer.<br /><br />Can I stop the automatic 4 spaces and just have it create one tab? kprobbins 0 0 2008-01-30T13:41:06 http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/9.0/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7bdd.html#77099 If you're looking for an "insert tabs as spaces" option, sadly Dreamweaver doesn't have one.

However, my tab size is set to 4, so every time it indents code, it uses a tab instead of spaces! How can I fix this? I'm using Dreamweaver CS3. 0 0 2007-10-25T17:22:46 http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/9.0/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7bdd.html#75484 Yes. Generally line breaks and indenting of individual tags are handled by the Tag Libraries. To edit these, go to Edit > Tag Libraries...<br><br>If you want an extra line after a tag (as I do for P tags, for example), change the Line Breaks to either Before and After Tag or Before, Inside, After, and click OK. Then navigate to your user Configuration folder (it'll be inside Documents and Settings/yourname/Application Data/Adobe/Dreamweaver 9/ if you're on Windows; on Mac, I believe it's in your Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver 9/ folder) and look inside the TagLibraries folder. Since I edited the settings for P, I see an html folder with a p.vtm file inside. Open the .vtm file in a text editor and change <br><br>nlaftertag="1"<br><br>to nlaftertag="2". This will give you a blank line after the closing tag. I think the changes will take effect right after you save the .vtm file, but if they don't, you may need to restart.
