Once you write a HTML 2.0 page by hand or using an editor, be sure to
validate it at the W3C validator. It will validate a HTML 2.0 page
still. This will help you prevent using any more modern tags that a
less than perfect editor might allow. If you select extended interface
at the validator, it will let you select the correct DOCTYPE for HTML
2.0 if some nasty old editor does not put one in your code. When you
have a really good HTML 2.0 page that validates, post the url so we
can see it. I have never written a HTML 2.0 page and do not even
recall seeing one. There are still a few HTML 3.2 pages around, but I
seldom see them these days.
