You misunderstood my goals/problem.
My browser has no problem displaying/processing/whatever the CSS.
I have ANOTHER project for which I want a CSS free HTML file.
I was thinking that there might be an editor [macro based] which could
"nicely" remove the CSS. Back in the 70's, when an electronics tech at
DEC, I was surrounded by TECO fanatics who enjoyed making it do
impressive tasks.
Recently I've begun wondering if there was was a "CSS Processor" which
could accept my HTML file and the companion filea.css and emit a legal
HTML4 document.
