Code is code.   It doesn't matter which product you use.

You can't.  DW encourages you to use good coding methods, which means using CSS classes and to keep content (HTML) separate from styles (CSS).  For example, if you change font-size on p tags like so:
     p {font-size: 38px}
Every paragraph will have 38px sized text.
If you want to apply a special style to just a portion of your text, you must define a CSS class name like so:
.foo {
font-size: 38px;
color: red;
HTML:
<p>This is normal paragraph text <span class="foo"> And this is very big and red.</span></p>
This is normal paragraph text And this is very big and red.
