Jan 25, 2013 · HTML is in no way a programming language. Programming languages deals with ''proccessing functions'', etc. HTML just deals with the visual interface of a web page, where the actual programming handles the proccessing. PHP for example. If anyone really knows programming, I really can't see how people can mistake HTML for an actual programming ...
Jun 4, 2021 · A lot of "HTML5" features you hear about aren't HTML5 at all, but rather things you can do with JavaScript (a programming language) in a modestly-capable browser. HTML5 is increasingly taking over (or has taken over) the role of defining both the structure of web pages and the API to interacting with them from a programming language.
Apr 20, 2010 · It is true that CSS is not "Turing complete", but it does not need to be in order to be a language. CSS is a declarative programming language that (among other things) manipulates nodes of the DOM in appearance, position, etc., and whose details of implementation (the "How" does it achieve that) are hidden (abstracted) from the user. –
Aug 12, 2011 · In my experience, "is HTML/CSS a programming language" is more about whether people who are good at HTML/CSS can also be good at other programming tasks. Most of the web designers I worked with in the last 13 years I've been doing web development have been able to create working HTML and CSS, but are not able to handle more demanding programming challenges (anything more than the simplest cut-and-pasted JavaScript).
It's not "written" in anything. It's a markup language. HTML is parsed by the browser which renders the webpage to display. It isn't a programming language. But maybe if it helps, you could think of HTML as a interpreted language and the browser as an interpreter.
CSS+HTML actually is turing complete because you can encode Rule 110 in CSS. That said, it would be prohibitively impractical to try to write programs in HTML and CSS. People who say they program in HTML are generally mistaken about programming. HTML is a markup language and CSS is a style sheet language. HTML is designed to store content ...
Jan 2, 2013 · The term "programming language" isn't defined rigorously enough for this to have a good answer. It really depends on the context in which the term is being used. In many contexts (usually if languages like C++, D or Java are being heavily mentioned) a "programming language" has to be Turing complete.
May 26, 2014 · A scripting language is a programming language which is interpreted, rather than compiled, which means that scripting languages represent a subset of all programming languages. It is not always obvious whether a programming language is a scripting language, like it's not always obvious whether a language is compiled or interpreted.
Nov 20, 2013 · Generally, a programming language allows you to describe some sort of process of doing something, whereas HTML is a way of adding context and structure to text. If you're looking to add more alphabet soup to your CV, don't classify them at all.
Mar 28, 2010 · For starters HTML is not a programming language...not by any definition I've ever seen. Let's put it this way...HTML isn't Turing Complete. HTML is a mark up language. It allows you to associate symantical information with user defined data that can then be interpreted by a web browser for the purpose of displaying the user data.
