How does WD6 handle divs

[JaffDave]

In the version i have WD5 each line of text is exported as a div, not real nice code when exported into Dreamweaver, I then spend more time removing all the divs and hand code the CSS and re-do all divs.

How are they handled now, Can we layout the page in typical header,footer and columns and export the page as intended or does WD6 try and reinvent the wheel?

Cheers

Yes, in WD6 there is an option to export the text objects as usual <p> elements. Not split into separate lines. To do so add the "HTMLBlockText" name to the text object.
There are also some other improvements that may be useful if you are going to edit exported HTML in the Dreamweaver or other advanced web authoring tool. For example, the text formatting is extracted into external css and is shared among all similarly formatted text elements. So you can edit it for the entire site simultaneously.
Check the trial version!

Thanks John,

OK but that would then cause repelled objects not to work if i understand correctly, or is there a work around.

Yes there is a work around. Do not add "HTMLBlockText" name to the text object.

[JaffDave]

hmm maybe I will re-phrase my question,

Can I add a block of text and a photo similar to left justify only using repel object and have them export as nested divs:

<div id="MainTextBlock">
<div id="MyImage">My Image Here</div>
Block of Text</div>

Yes you can. Copy this code of yours and paste it into the placeholder.
You can also have an in-line placeholder which content will be inserted directly into the text.
