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

Yes because I like CSS.
Ah together, they are closer but not fully. Alone, no.

listen… it’s not… like really, no
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

Yes, HTML is markup language & CSS is Cascading Style Sheet.
But, anything that can be interpreted by the Computer, is a Computer Language.
- Level 0: machine language
- Level 1: Binary language
- Level 2: Low level language: C & C++;
- Level 3: non-VM interpreted High level language: GoLang
- Level 4: VM interpreted language: Python, Java, JavaScript, HTML, CSS
Python needs CPython VM to run; Java needs Java VM to run; JavaScript, HTML, CSS needs browser engine(VM) such as V8 to run.

No, HTML and CSS are markup languages.
Programming Language: some executable commands that make up a program
Markup Language: some elements that gets parsed into a view
Is HTML really a bunch of commands?
If you make a full game with PURE HTML (no JavaScript), then I’ll agree HTML is a programming language.

Depends on how “Programming Language” is being used. In the case of “Programming Language”, this is the following definition:
A programming language is a system of notation for writing computer programs.[1] Most programming languages are text-based formal languages, but they may also be graphical. They are a kind of computer language.
In the context of programming languages, HTML is considered one.
Now onto the next word: Computer Language
A computer language is a formal language used to communicate with a computer. Types of computer languages include:
- Construction language – all forms of communication by which a human can specify an executable problem solution to a computer
- Command language – a language used to control the tasks of the computer itself, such as starting programs
- Configuration language – a language used to write configuration files
- Programming language – a formal language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer
- Query language – a language used to make queries in databases and information systems
- Transformation language – designed to transform some input text in a certain formal language into a modified output text that meets some specific goal
- Data exchange language – a language that is domain-independent and can be used for data from any kind of discipline; examples: JSON, XML
- Markup language – a grammar for annotating a document in a way that is syntactically distinguishable from the text, such as HTML
- Modeling language – an artificial language used to express information or knowledge, often for use in computer system design
- Architecture description language – used as a language (or a conceptual model) to describe and represent system architectures
- Hardware description language – used to model integrated circuits
- Page description language – describes the appearance of a printed page in a higher level than an actual output bitmap
- Simulation language – a language used to describe simulations
- Specification language – a language used to describe what a system should do
- Style sheet language – a computer language that expresses the presentation of structured documents, such as CSS
Although HTML is not in the “same league” as the other languages, it is still a markup language and then inherently a computer language.
