Dreamweaver will help you fix HTML code that is written incorrectly. The options in this pane let you decide what to keep and remove. The modifications are done when a document is opened or when code is pasted into your document.

• Rewrite code
  Dreamweaver will fix invalidly nested code and tags that aren't closed. It will rename form objects that you paste into your document so that you don't have forms with the same name. And Dreamweaver will remove extra closing tags that are missing a corresponding opening tag.

• Never rewrite code
  If you choose to have Dreamweaver rewrite the code, you can have it leave the code alone in files with specific extensions. This prevents problems when you use programmatic nesting or tags.
• Special characters
  Dreamweaver encodes <, >, &, and " characters automatically with & codes unless you deselect this option.
• URL encoding
  Dreamweaver will convert URLs with special characters (including &) to either & codes or % codes, or it will leave them alone.

Once you've updated the code rewriting options, click "OK" to save your preferences.
