It’s right there in the name: it’s a markup language. Hyper Text Markup Language. HTML.
How To Meet Ladies.
That's the etymological fallacy. The name itself doesn't determine the meaning. According to that logic, python isn't a programming language either but a snake
Fun fact python was named after Monty python, not the snake.
What was Monty Python named after?
I think it got inspired by our lord and savior Brian
his parents i think
Monty Python was named after Monty Python was named after Monty Python was named after..
Based on this post it seems M. Python is the scientific name for the Ouroboros
Then what is M. Bison the scientific name for?
Raul Julia, of course
The Red Baron.
It's named after the python language, obviously. Nothing beats recursive referencing.
If it walks like a snake and quacks like a snake...
The name in this case is defined by the meaning if you will. Programming languages are used to write programs. A HTML file is much closer to a PDF than to what can be considered a program.
Also fun fact python is named after the comedy group Monty Python rather than the snake.
Actually, PDF is a turing complete programming language.
PDF is a simplification and wrapper around the computer language PostScript - a PostScript or PDF doc literally runs on the printer or computer and outputs the rasterisation of the thing you want to print.
PostScript is language based around a stack. You can define functions (which may be fully recursive) that run on the stack.
Here's a small example:
As such, PDF that's actually similar to Python, and HTML is closer to something like a JSON or XML document.
Note however that HTML can contain Javscript or WASM programs, but these are embedded rather than features of HTML.

HTML5 + CSS3 seems to be Turing complete too: https://lemire.me/blog/2011/03/08/breaking-news-htmlcss-is-turing-complete/
Forgive me if this sounds rude but it's the best way to explain in my mind, please take it in jest.
- lemon is sweet.
+ no, lemon is sour.
- well, Lemmon+sugar is sweet.
+ ?????????????
Well, TIL! Thank you!
Ok, but hear me out. Have you seen most Python code?

Point taken
From Gryffindor and awarded to Slytherin
Welcome to germany. Many name for new thing just description of thing. Why not more language do that? Very useful.
There is a difference between “markup language” and “programming language”.
That's the point isn't it? Or did you mean that with a question mark attached?
The only correct answer is D, and it got the least votes. 😋
