Style Definition for Type panel

Use the Style Definition for Type panel to define basic type setting for a style. See also Style sheets overview and Editing a style.

To open the Style Definition dialog box, Choose Window > Styles and click Edit Style Sheet. In the dialog box that appears, choose a style and click Edit. Click the panel names on the left side of the dialog box. Leave any of the following attributes empty if they are not important to the style:

Font sets the font family or series of families for the style. Browsers display text in the first font in the series that is installed on the user's system. For compatibility with Internet Explorer 3.0, list a Windows font first.

Size defines the size of the text. You can choose a specific size by selecting the number and the unit of measurement, or you can choose a relative size.

Style determines if the font is Normal, Italic, or Oblique. The default is Normal.

Line Height sets the height of the line on which the text is placed. Select Normal to have the line height for the font size calculated automatically, or enter an exact value and select a unit of measurement. This attribute is not supported by current browsers and causes problems in Internet Explorer 3.x browsers.

Decoration decorates text with an underline, overline, line-through, or by making it blink. The default for regular text is None. The default for links is Underline.

Weight applies a specific or relative amount of boldness to the font. Normal is equivalent to 400; bold is equivalent 700.

Variant lets you select a variation of the font, like small caps. Dreamweaver does not display this attribute in the Document window.

Case capitalizes the first letter of words in the selection, or makes it all uppercase or lowercase. Dreamweaver does not display this attribute in the Document window.

Color defines the color of the text.
