Summary

In this chapter, we explored how to verify that the HTML5 Pack is installed in Dreamweaver CS5.

We have focused on generating web pages using the two available HTML5 Layouts that are part of the HTML5 Pack. We have explored both the HTML (HTML5) file that is generated from either of these layouts and noted that the formatting of the HTML5 elements (and other HTML elements) is dependent on a related (linked) CSS (style sheet) file.

Finally, we began to acclimate to some of the most useful views in Dreamweaver CS5 that will be of great value as we detect and change the attributes of HTML5 elements in future chapters.
