Workflow and HTML reports
Dreamweaver incorporates an extended series of reports
for checking on your workflow and cleaning up your HTML in individual
files. Access this menu by selecting "Reports" from the
"Site" pull-down menu..
or select "Results" from "Window" menu ...
The resulting panel presents tabs for switching between
various reports conveniently:
Using the arrow icon 
initiates Site Reports by launching a dialog box.
The "Workflow" options report on files currently
checked out (if the File Check In/Out feature has been activated),
as well as a summary of the Design Notes on your site.
HTML Reports assists you in tracking down common HTML
problems and oversights to correct them and make your files smaller,
faster-downloading, and more accessible for visually impaired visitors.
- Combinable Nested Font Tags - when you apply a font face, a font
color or a font size, some HTML editors will apply several instances
of a font tag. For instance:
<font face="verdana"><font color="red">text</font></font>.
In this instance, the font tags can be combined:
<font face="verdana" color="red">text</font>.
This report will help you find these instances.
- Missing Alt Text - the ALT option for image tags is used by
screenreading software that is used by visually impaired visitors
to your site. You should include a description of the image in
the ALT option in all your image tags. This report will help you
track down missing ALT text.
- Redundant Nested Tags - this report helps you track down instances
where a tag has been applied more than once to the same text.
- Removable Empty Tags - Some HTML tags do nothing in your document
unless certain options are applied. If these tags exist in your
documents and no specific options are selected, the empty tags
can be deleted.
- Untitled Documents - Dreamweaver (and most other HTML editors)
applies a default value of "Untitled" to your <title>
tag when you create a new file. If you forget to input an appropriate
page title, you can use this report to track down your untitled
documents.
