HTML is a markup language… CSS is a style sheet language and technically not a programming language but does have some qualities of a language. I love CSS :heart:

What if you include javascript in the mix? Not javascript by itself, but only in the mix of the other two?

All are data representation languages, and further markup/stylesheet languages. I would say yes to language, but no to programming language.

I mean technically but I would put HTML at the same “level” of programming lang-ness as markdown and rst

Google says a “program” is “a series of coded software instructions to control the operation of a computer or other machine.”

One could in theory argue that markup is a series of coded instructions that control the operation of the pixels in your display.

Both aren’t programming languages to me. People’s opinions are cool though

They are languages but not programming languages. HTML is Hyper Text Markup Language. And CSS is Cascading Style Sheets. It literally says they aren’t in their names
