I'm just new to Dreamweaver. It would help to have a list of what each syntax color identifies. For example, it looks all the html tags are blue. What does the green, orange, white, purple and gray identify? thank you.

    Coloring coding in the syntax depends on your theme that you are using for code.  This can be customized in so many ways it is hard to say which you are looking at.  If you want to share a screenshot of some of your code, we can try to help decipher some of your theme.

    Here is a sceen shot. The code theme in Preferences is Dark. I'm using Dreamweaver 19.2.1. I wouldn't even know how to customize anything. I'm not only new to Dreamweaver but also just learning basic HTML. Thank you!

    My understanding is that in my screenshot, Blue is the HTML element, Green is the Attribute Name, Orange is the Attribute Value, White is the Content, and Gray is the Comment.
    Is the purple identifying internal CSS?

    thank you
