Creating Your First HTML5 Page

If you have not yet altered the Dreamweaver Preferences (see later) then it is best to create a new page using the File -> New dialog. Make sure that HTML5 is selected in the DocType drop down list. Select Blank Page, Page Type: HTML and Layout: None.

If you have an earlier version of Dreamweaver, then you will need to create an empty HTML5 page manualy and use it as a starting point each time (by using File -> SaveAs)
