You can't commit "processing", and furthermore "markup" is purely "static" as it is as is meaning it will require an additional language say Javascript to manipulate it's content.

Answer 9

HTML is not a programming language because we would call it HTPL then. Where a programming language is communicating to the machine that you want to control. As for an example the Web browser must communicate to the hardware of your computer, where HTML tells the browser where to put the image.The easiest way to compare this to is a person writing a book in a text editor. They could change the colour, font, size, and insert images.

HTML is a markup language. (The ML stands for "Markup Language"). HTML and CSS describe presentation if you will, while programming languages describe function
