SECTION 2 Establishing Computer Essential
As ubiquitous as the computer has become, it is now
essential that anyone who wants to be functional in
society be able to know how to use it. While it is easy to
learn how to work a few things on a computer just by
tinkering with one for a while, it is always better to learn
about the fundamentals in a formal setting to avoid
making mistakes and ruining things unintentionally.

SECTION 3 The Virtual World
A computer can be a gateway to a world of information
that is possibly greater than any library that ever
existed. Anyone may enter this world and contribute to
its vastness with the proper tools and know-how.
This section furnishes the student with information on
how to make things like websites and browsers work
over the Internet. It shows them how this virtual world
has a written language of its own which makes
possible the creation of websites.

• HTML tags
<html>,<head>,<body><H1> to <H6>,<p>
<a>,<ol>,<ul>,<li>,<dl>,<dt>,<dd>,<img>
<head> …. </head> element - This element contains information about the page
<title> …. </title> element - It is used to set the title of the page in the browser.
<body> …. </body> element - place all the content that will be displayed in the window
<body> Attributes:
background to set the background image
bgcolor to set background color
text to set the font color
Headings
<p>…</p> element
Character Formatting
element Uses
<b>…</b> Displays text in bold
<i>…</i> Displays text in italic
<u>…</u> Displays Underlined text
<s>…</s> Used to identify text that is no longer relevant
<sup>…</sup> Format the text as superscript
<sub>…</sub> Format the text as subscript
<pre>…</pre> Preformatted text allows you to format the text the way
you want it
<br> and <hr> element
<br> is used to separate each line. <hr> causes the browser to display a horizontal
line (rule) in the document.
<hr> attributes:
size – height of the rule in pixels (default: 2 pixels)
width – width of the rule in pixels or in percentage of screen width (default:
100%)
noshade – draw the rule with a flat look instead of a 3D look (default: not set)
align – aligns the line (default: center)
color – sets a color for the rule (default: No set)
list
Ordered List
Attribute:
<ol>
start sets the beginning value
<li>item 1</li>
type sets the numbering style

<img>…</img> Element
• attribute:
• src - contains a path to the image file that you
want to embed
• alt - used to provide some fallback text in case
the image cannot be loaded.
• height – the desired height of the image
• width – the desired width of the image
• align – to align the image on the page (values:
bottom, middle, top, left, right, texttop,
absmiddle, baseline and absbottom)
<a> … </a> Element
• Hyperlinks in HTML are created using the <a>
element. As well as linking to other pages on
the web, you can also use the <a> element to
link to parts of the current page.
