I can see why you might THINK this is a good requirement: you're probably thinking that by only wanting minimal features you could use simple, robust software. However, I think it's a bad requirement that is severely restricting your choices here. I think it is likely that any HTML browser would be expected to render modern HTML, and any browser that doesn't would have a very tiny user base. Installing 20+ year old software just to make sure it can never parse HTML5 is total lunacy. There will be no support community for such a thing for a start, so any problem you have is going to be a showstopper. If you want simple robust output and behaviour I think it's probably better to get that by making sure the CONTENT is very simple HTML. Then you get to choose from every web browser that exists today. > Any suggestions? Make simple HTML and view it with whatever you currently use to browse the web. Consider writing content in Markdown instead and using pandoc to turn that into HTML and/or PDF. Thanks, Andy -- https://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
