I followed the links from the education.kerala.gov.in which pravi gave
on this page, and am going through

http://www.education.kerala.gov.in/source_book/IT%20-%20Source%20B.pdf
http://www.education.kerala.gov.in/SoftExamQ/SSLC_PracticalWordPro.pdf
http://www.education.kerala.gov.in/SoftExamQ/SSLC_PracticalPresentation.pdf

(malayalam pdf files)

I  am extremely  happy  to note  the  sea change  in  attitude of  the
educationists.

However, I  have a few nitpicks.In  the last two files,  (which are in
malayalam) the  instructions are to  save files in  a folder on  the c
drive.

The first file  (on page 31 of the pdf) gives  the wrong extension for
the OO.o  file format  (.ssw; the correct  extension is .sxw);  and on
page  47  of the  pdf,  there  is an  example  of  html snippet  using
<marquee> tag.   AFAIK, <marquee>  is not standard  html; and is  a M$
extension to  html 4.01, adopted by netscape  (and therefore supported
on gecko based browsers).

And  here  is  something  from  page  40  which  works,  but  is  IMHO
syntactically wrong:-

A little more compliance to W3C's HTML syntax, _and_ standards would
be helpful.
