Why is HTML considered a programming language?

Question

Because it's true that HTML doesn't have logic (like if, for, else...) and is only used to display a web page.

Answer 1

HTML is NOT a programming language. HTML is a hypertext markup language. HTML places content on web pages, creates new elements, and is the foundation of your site. Nowadays, large websites are not written entirely in HTML. Most of the code is written in the JavaScript programming language, as this simplifies and speeds up the development process. But you should still know the HTML tags and attributes, because they are used in the markup of your regardless of what language you write the main part of your site in. HTML tags and attributes cannot be replaced with anything at the moment. There is no replacement for HTML yet...

Answer 2

No one considers it a programming language though.

Answer 3

It is not programming but it is code 😉

Answer 4

HTML is both a markup language and a declarative language. It has a foundational history rooted in SGML, with a later, more complex relationship with XML.
