with mild vision impairment [including myself]. As "everyone" has a
browser, avoiding JavaScript/CSS/etc and using only about a half-dozen
tags seems reasonable.
There are many _study_ oriented tools available.
I didn't find something that met my reading preferences.
Rolling my own allows me to:
1. learn HTML by doing.
2. have a pleasant reading reading experience.
3. create something useful to others.

Can someone suggest a user friendly editor?

VSCode? Notepad++? Sublime Text is good if you ignore the subscription popups.

THAT'S what you call a fast response ;}
I'll look them up.
Thank you.

IMHO, you are setting unrealistic criteria.
Certainly avoid JavaScript in a static page where no input from the
reader is expected. (In an introduction, you can tell readers about
Ctrl-plus and Ctrl-minus, which most browsers interpret to change text size.)
But eschewing CSS is, again IMHO, a mistake. You don't have to get
too fancy, but for instance your work will benefit from setting
linespacing larger than most browsers do.

Chuckle. 60+ years of hardware/software agrees that's possible.

That detailed control may be beyond some of my audience. At 80, I'm the youngest.

That's to be seen.
My experiments with SeaMonkey on Debian does not foresee such a benefit.
An unstated goal is that what I produce will run without errors/warnings
on anything from HTML 2.0 on.
Do your audience actually have browsers that are decades out of date?
If they do, and they do anything on the Internet, tney are leaving
themselves wide open to a world of trouble.

Maybe they are the type that trust to a “higher power” to keep them safe ...
The subject line is
"Suitable editor for multiple large complex HTML files"
Aren't there other uses for "files" than Websites.

But HTML has provision for embedding arbitrary links to Internet sites.
You may or may not know this; from the sound of it, your audience likely doesn’t.
1. learn HTML by doing.
[SNIP]
P.S What might be suitable editor for multiple large complex HTML files? [e.g. contents of https://ebible.org/Scriptures/eng-kjv2006_html.zip ;]
