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.
You do not say whether you will be writing HTML or whether you will simply read it.
If you are writing HTML, then you need to decide on your DTD and validate against it. If you want something really simple, try ISO-HTML [ISO/IEC 15445] which is smaller than the W3C's HTML Strict.
ISO-HTML was developed to put the weight of the ISO/IEC behind the W3C and help them hold the core of the HyperText Markup Language steady whilst under commercial pressure. See https://rogerprice.org/15445/15445.html for the User's Guide, which includes the full text of the Standard, and the DTD.
