I'm new to dreamweaver and I'm looking for a way to export all of the
attributes I've coded into a document, as I code I normally start with plain
text and mark up the data with tags that match the text. the result is a really
basic format free HTML markup that I go and markup with external css. I add
classes to all of the markup I believe require specialization, as I create the
new css document I'd like to have a list of the attributes I've created, is
there a quick way to do that in dreamweaver? Maybe a plugin that will do this?

Thanks,
Michael

What exactly do you mean with "format free"?

CSS doesn't do any markup, it just styles it. Printing a line of text
bigger and thicker than the rest doesn't make it a heading. Meaningless
markup remains meaningless, regardless of how you present it. Remember
this (taken from the CSS spec):

| Note. CSS gives so much power to the "class" attribute, that authors
| could conceivably design their own "document language" based on
| elements with almost no associated presentation (such as DIV and SPAN
| in HTML) and assigning style information through the "class"
| attribute. Authors should avoid this practice since the structural
| elements of a document language often have recognized and accepted
| meanings and author-defined classes may not.

I'm sorry my wording was lame, I don't mean to markup the text with css that
makes no sense rather I go to style the text and I wondered if there was any
way to export a list of all of the classes I've created, kind of a reverse of
the auto-complete for css classes I've created?

I kinda do the same, but I break it up into steps. I create the html
with ids/classes, then as you do create the css, but I do it in small
steps, making sure each part works as intended before moving on to the
next step. By doing this I easily rectify any design flaws before they
get out of hand.
