Text wrapping in code view

In Preferences, I have checked the option Automatic wrapping
after column
76. However some rows can't wrap at the specified column
because the tags in
that rows can't be destributed in two lines. So, DW (8 and
now CS3)
hard-breake them at the end of the window, resulting in a new
line without
line number (I have Line numbers checked under View > Code
view options
menu).
Is there a setting for not breaking those tags at the end of
the window?
(I'm only speaking about the long tags and not the plain
text, that I srtill
want it wrapped at column 76 so, I can't uncheck the Option
Word wrap under
View > Code view options menu, because it overrides the
wrapping after
column 76 option of the Preferences, making not only the long
tags exceeding
window's right edge, but plain text, too).
Thank you in advance
Please, remove hyphens to contact me

Tun off this setting:
View > Code View Options > Word Wrap

  • Is it possible to change text colour in code view?

    Hi all,
    Not sure if this is possible as never seen it myself, but is it possible to change the text colour in the code of the html?
    A site I am building at the moment is for a school who want to be able to edit text / links occasionally, and as they will only be using something like notepad and have no html knowledge between them whatsoever, I thought if I could highlight bits in the code which are 'not to be played with' it would make everyone's job a lot simpler!
    Possible or not?

    Can the comments only go at the beginning of a line, or can they, for example go after say a <p> tag but before the page text? (If you get my meaning!)
    Eg <p><!--edit from here--!>welcome to our website<!--up to here--!></p>
    Yes, you can, but you need to make sure the HTML comment tags are correct. What you have done won't work, but this will:
    <p><!--edit from here-->welcome to our website<!--up to here--></p>
    Notice that the exclamation mark is only in the opening comment tag. Not in the closing one.

  • Line breaks in code view

    I'm using Dreamweaver in 90% of the time in code view, and there is one thing I dont like and I can't seem to fix it.
    When I have a log text the text breaks at the end of my screen and continues at the next line, instead of giving me a horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of the page.
    Is there an option to make this happen?

    Dreamweaver has two types of word wrapping in Code view: hard wrapping, which is off by default, and soft wrapping, which is on by default.
    Soft wrapping works like a word processor by moving text onto the next line when it reaches the right border, but does not insert a newline character. To turn off soft wrapping, go to View > Code View Options, and click Word Wrap. It's a toggle on-off option. With a check mark alongside, it's on. Just click to remove the check mark and turn off soft wrapping.
    Hard wrapping, by the way, is in Preferences > Code Format. It's not recommended, because it breaks JavaScript.

  • Editable region but not in code view

    EDIT: While cooking dinner I thought that the computer "fixes" itself when it reboots what about Dreamweaver?  I closed DW down.  Reopened the app and voila.  I CAN edit that section in code view now.  It's weird but it appears to be working.  I'll repost if something is amiss again regarding this issue.  I'll leave the post up in case it's helpful to anyone else.  thanks.
    I have new pages made from a template.  I can only edit in design view NOT in code view.  I get the standard error of I'm trying to edit where I'm not allowed.  I've made templates many times but never had this problem (I don't think!).  Does someone have a tip or help for me?  In addition to this issue I was not able to change the title of the page until I added the editable region in the template for title line.  That's always been default editable before.  Thanks a lot. I'm using DW8.
    begining code from template:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="title" --><title>Party Invitation Boutique</title>  <!-- TemplateEndEditable -->
    begining code from new pages:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><!-- InstanceBegin template="/Templates/index.dwt" codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="title" --><title>Baby Blue</title>  <!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
    -------------then further down on the page is the editable region-------------
    <!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="main_content" -->
    <div id="content_right">test only can type in design view. can't add div boxes
      even in this editable region. ugh. can't even type next this this text in the
      code view. </div>
    <!-- InstanceEndEditable -->

    Best thing you can do in the future is run your code through the validator if the editable region exists:
    http://validator.w3.org/
    If there are code errors with other tags on the page then it is possible DW is overlooking its own template code.  Unfortunately without seeing the whole page I cannot say this is definitely the case, but a likely possibility.

  • Blank spaces in code view

    Hello,
    Whenever I copy and paste text from another website -- sometimes from my own website after it goes live -- onto Dreamweaver, the text looks just fine in Design view. Fonts and paragraphs are preserved, as they're supposed to according to my preferences.
    However, when I look at the code view, there are always several -- sometimes a whole lot of -- blank spaces separating words; blank spaces that were not in the original text (even in code view) and that can't be detected in Dreamweaver's design view.
    It looks ok online just like it looks ok in Dreamweaver's design view, but I'm just a little concerned that those blank spaces may confuse search engine crawlers.
    For instance. In design view and online, one sees:
    "Great Holiday"
    but in the code view/source page you'll see
    "Great                    Holiday"
    That's what the crawlers and spiders will see as well. And they may think that "Great Holiday" and "Great                    Holiday" are two different sets of keywords when they should be the same.
    How can I ensure that only *one* blank space is allowed in Dreamweaver's code view, whenever I copy and paste text from webpages? Is there a way that I can preserve the texts' format and fonts while ensuring *one* blank space in code view?
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    No, actually this is what happens:
    If one of us copies text from our blog online (www.altfg.com/blog/) we see the following in Dreamweaver's design view:
    Right behind Clash of the Titans, DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon, featuring the voices of Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, and
    America Ferrera, earned $3.8 million (+9.2%) domestically on Thursday,
    but in code view there are blank spaces between words. Blank spaces that shouldn't be there:
    <p>Right behind <em><strong><a href=
    "http://www.altfg.com/blog/movies-431/clash-of-the-titans-box-office-predictions/"
    >Clash       of the Titans</a></strong></em>, DreamWorks Animation’s <em>How to   Train Your Dragon</em>, featuring     the voices of <strong>Jay Baruchel</strong>,<strong> <a href=
    "http://www.altfg.com/blog/photos/bradley-cooper-gerard-butler-andrew-r-jones-810/"
    >Gerard       Butler</a></strong>, and <strong>America Ferrera</strong>, earned     $3.8 million (+9.2%) domestically on Thursday, </p>
    Notice the blank spaces separating "featuring      the voices" or "Gerard       Butler." Those shouldn't be there. Maybe it makes no difference. On the browsers, it all looks fine. But is there a way to ensure that Dreamweaver doesn't allow more than one blank space between words in code view?
    Also, *no one* has responded to my query about automatic hyperlinks for images. Any ideas?
    That has been such a drag.

  • Setting font size for code view

    On my 19" desktop monitor the text size in code view is easy enough to read, but on my hi resolution 17" laptop it is really, really tiny. I can't find any prefs setting or another way to make the font for code view larger. Is there such a setting somewhere? (Yes, I can change the resolution settings for the laptop but this is not preferable because the screen is blurry at anything other than the native 1920 x 1200 pixels.) Thanks.

    Play around with the preferences shown above to see what works for you.  I changed mine recently to use Consalas font and it's much better than the default  :-)

  • View code view options hidden characters problem

    When I turn on the Hidden characters I get extra tab symbols at the end of the line of code. These will somtimes lay on top of or beyond the paragraph symbol. I have tried using other font and font sizes and some do work better than others. It seems like the text in the code view dosn't respect the hidden characters at all and some times the cursor looks like it is one place but edits a character over one space. Any ideas on the best font and size to use and is there any one else experincing this and or a fix?

    Not sure I understand the issue you're having. 
    I'm using CS6 ver 12.2, build 6006 on Windows. 
    The font is Courier New 12pt.

  • Text wrapping when exporting to .pdf

    I'm running Pages 5.2 on OSX 10.9.2. When exporting my document to .pdf, it does not retain it's text wrapping. When viewing the document in Pages, everything is where I put it. When viewing the document as a .pdf after exporting, some of the text will no longer be wrapped around some of the pictures. Which text no longer wraps around which picture changes every time I export, even without altering the document in any way. I have tried grouping the objects and the text together, which only seemed to cause more text to fail to wrap.

    I'm using Acrobat X. I've attached a cap of the InDesign poster, and what I get when exporting to PDF -- I lose the title, and "Directed by..." (which is the same type size/color as the playwright). Also, I have overprint preview checked for automatic (and tried all the other settings, too).

  • Wrapping text in standard Webdynpro View

    I needed to wrap text in a standard view of the webvdynpro component. I created a enhancement of the view and reduced the width of the root container in the enhancement . I saved it and activated it.  the next time I went to view the details I changed, the details changes were undone. How do I make a permanent change to the width attribute value?

    Using the enhancement framework within a View, you can only add new UI elements or delete existing ones. You can't change the properites of existing UI elements:

  • Can code view wrap be changed

    Its a basic question, but...
    Can code view wrap be changed?
    What I mean is... in code view, if I had a piece of code
    which was longer than the width of my screen, can I change settings
    to allow it to continue along horizontally instead of dropping down
    to the next line automatically.
    I know it doesn't affect the layout of the page... this is
    purely for personal preference when i'm in code view. This happens
    as standard in GoLive and is one of the few things left I'd like to
    sort in my moving back to Dreamweaver.
    many thanks in advance

    In the version of Dreamweaver I have you select the 'View'
    drop down menu, then 'Code View Options'. From there you should be
    able to turn the word wrap on or off.
    I expect it is similar for all versions of Dreamweaver.
    Hope this helps.

  • Working in code view selects whole blocks of text when a page is opened for the first time

    This is really annoying feature of dreamweaver, I assume it serves a purpose but I do not know what it is. If I open a document (I generally always work in code view) then select the area I wish to, say, copy and then press control and c, the whole block of code becomes selected (so my selection expands). That isn't what I selected so why does it do this? If I click outside the code view - on to css styles for example - then I can now select the lines of code I want and can work with the code as intended. If I save the document, tab to another document in dreamweaver and tab back again, the same happens. So, everytime I open a document I have to click CSS styles before I can work with the document as intended. I've been working with this for a while and it's go to the point where it makes me cry. It's not quite as annoying as working with the old ftp service but it's not far off.

  • Code view text is italicized in vista home

    Hi
    I have DW cs3 and vista home edition.
    Now when I see the code view all my code is italic(see the screenshot). I dont know how to set it back. its very irritating. In win xp it works fine.
    In other programs, like MS word , IE, FF etc I dont see the italic font,only in Dreamweaver. I reinstalled all my basic fonts, reinstalled dreamweaver, but no luck.
    Please someone help.
    Thanks
    Danny

    Check the the EDIT>Preferences >Font  to see if it has been set up to use an Italic font.
    Or check your windows vista font preferences to see if there's been a change made there ... other than that, I'm not sure what it could be.

  • Text wrap works in Safari/Firefox NOT in IE 6 & 7

    I am banging my head against a wall here. I started this site using all CSS and then found out that IE 6&7 users were seeing a text overlap. I've searched and monkeyed and doctored – so now there is no overlap, but the wrap is not workin - the text flows oddly with big gaps.

    Yes.  Cleaner code.  Open a New blank HTML document.  In code view, paste my code into your blank document.  Notice the differences - no tables, no span text, etc..  It's much easier without them.

  • Scrolling horizontally in Code view with tilt-wheel mouse.

    I'm having an issue with scrolling horizontally via my mouse's tilt-wheel, side-scrolling feature.  I'm using Dreamweaver CS6 in WIndows 7, but perhaps the bug may apply to CC as well.
    When I scroll sideways, the scrollbar moves, but it loses all of it's styling (gradient effect and draggable icon) but the view content does NOT move at all.  After side-scrolling, if I click anywhere in the Code view, the styling resets and the content tries to reconcile with the scrollbar's location, and the view breaks, like this:
    Scrolling vertically past these lines and back resolves the text breakage.  But, horizontal scrolling is still a pain unless I make the effort to drag the scrollbar with my cursor.
    I've considered it being a driver issue, so I reinstalled them and restarted.  I've installed legacy versions and restarted.  No dice.
    Has anyone else experienced this?  Why is tilt-wheel side-scrolling different than clicking the right arrow button?  Any help would be appreciated!

    Thanks Jon.
    But, I'd rather not word-wrap.  I see plenty of how-to's for word-wrapping, so I'm not sure if I'm really alone in wanting to visually maintain longer lines, or whether hardly anyone else has tilt-wheel issues, or that they don't find it worth posting for help about. 
    Hm.  I'll keep looking for a solution for a while longer.

  • Text Wrap not working in Muse (CC 2014)

    I'm attempting to wrap text around a slideshow.  I have already inserted the slideshow in the text box, used the wrapping options to justify to the left, with the text running to the right and beneath the slideshow.  In the design layout, it shows up perfectly.  However, in the preview tab as well as previewing on the web, the wrapping does not show.  The slideshow simply appears over the text, with the text running behind the slideshow.  Any ideas on how to fix this problem or is it simply a bug that Adobe needs to eventually correct?  Thanks for your help!
    All my best,
    Rob

    Hard to tell from the screenshots. A couple nuances of text wrap that may be unexpected:
    1) If you select an item with text wrap and move it up or down in Design view, that will move the item but will not change the area that is knocked out for text wrap purposes. Thus text can overlap on object that has text wrap applied if the item has been moved up or down while in the text flow.
    2) Where an object is inserted in a flow is important. Generally it will provide the most predictable behavior if the graphic is inserted at the very start of a paragraph. If a graphic is inserted in the middle of a paragraph and text wrap is applied, exactly where the graphic will appear will be dependent on how the browser line breaks the text of the paragraph before where the graphic was inserted. A change in line breaks can result in the graphic appearing a line higher or lower in one browser versus another, since every browser has it's own text layout engine.
    Assuming neither of the 2 points above fit what you're seeing, it's probably most expedient to send us the .muse file along with a link to this thread for context at [email protected] and a note to let us know where to find the problem situation within the file so we can see the exact situation and settings for what you're encountering.
