I'm working on a weird personal proof-of-concept project.
A HTML 5 compatible browser will *NOT* be considered.
I would really prefer a product aimed at HTML 2.
In any case CSS and/or JavaScript will not be used.

I would prefer it operate under 64 bit Debian 12.
Operation under i386 Debian 9 would be acceptable.
Any suggestions?

elinks, lyinx, w3m - all command line.
Manpage for w3m hints it may be particularly suitable.
Will investigate elinks further as it is in Debian 12 repository.
Dillo / Netsurf
Will investigate Dillo. www.dillo.org has little descriptive info.
Netsurf aims to provide comprehensive rendering of HTML 5 with CSS 2 :{
It's also worth having a quick look at Vince's presentation on Netsurf
from mini-DebConf Cambridge 2024

Maybe also one of the older editors like bluefish which can be set to check
HTML and display it as well as edit it.
My browser history shows I've previously looked at it as a potential
editor. Kate was preferable editor.
Hope this helps, all the very best as ever
