Yes. Markup-Languages are a subset of Programming-Languages. Turing completness doesn’t matter as things like magic the gathering and habbo hotel are Turing complete
I am markdown and latex programmer.
Idk it just feels wrong.
So Habbo Hotel is a programming language.
I feel like programming language produces programs, and makeup languages formatted documents.
I wouldn't consider a formatted document to be a program, so I don't consider a markup language to be a programming language.
Doesn't make it less valuable, though
ACKSHUALLY ... markup languages do not produce a formatted document. They define semantic elements of the document. The formatting is done by the compiler (whatever it is in the individual context) based on styles defined by a styling language.
That's true! Although many people use makeup to do styling using the default styles... Which is... Not great.
But regardless I think my point still holds, it's not providing instructions for a machine, it's the data the instructions act on. But the difference between data and instructions is a blurry one
'This markup language isn't even as capable as Habbo Hotel, but it counts anyway because I just called it a programming language.'
There is a literal hierarchy of syntaxes which are recognized by different categories of machine. Programs require a Turing machine. Anything lesser - in a subset like pushdown automata or finite-state machines - doesn't need a proper computer. So it's not a program.
It's a markup language, not a programming language.
Woosh
I don't think it is.
Care to explain what I'm missing?
Do I really have to explain the joke? The sleep paralysis demon is asking "Is HTML a programming language?" And the person is "sleep paralysed" to correct them or do anything about it really.
I don't know what else I can explain besides that.
So... The humor is just absurdity?
It's not a logical programming language, but markup directs the formatting and general output of content to the screen. -Is that not a function of programming?
Does that make Rich Text Format a programming language then? Does that make jpg a programming language?
I think that markup is the data that a program takes as input - but I also think it's not black and white. How programmy a language is is a sliding scale.
Those are interesting analogies. I guess I'd have to agree they are certainly a function of programming whereas I probably should have specified programming languages (directed by text) but then one could argue that the examples you mentioned are merely a language of buttons and other user input. —"Sliding scale " indeed.
Sorry I wasn't clear, I meant the formats themselves.
Writing rich text using a text editor is kind of like writing HTML with a WYSIWYG editor, but just like with HTML you can go in and write RTF by hand.
Likewise you can use Photoshop to make an image, but you could also go in and set the pixel values of a bmp by hand.
By sliding scale I didn't mean wrt how you wrote them, but rather how much like an "instruction" the file tokens (for lack of better word) are. Is it instructing the computer to do something? Or is it data that the instructions act on?
Sometimes the line between input data and instruction is blurry.

Taco according to the cube rule
yes

Makes him cooler?
I mean that's what it asks me 😆
You can't write a program in HTML.
End of discussion.
programing languages arent use to make programs they are used to program machines which is exactly what u do with html.
The "program" is the package of instructions that tell the machine what to do. The instructions are written in a programming language.
With a markup language, the markup is the input to a program (like a browser) that tells the machine what to do.
But I think it's not really boolean, it's a sliding scale. Especially with so many programming languages being interpreted or JIT compiled. I think it's less a programming language than many other programming-related things, but more of a programming language than, say, a slideshow.
they are used to program machines
Which HTML cannot do, because if it could, that would be called a program. That's what the word means.
HTML makes documents. It's a markup language. It's not even Turing-complete accidentally.
I mean technically I could write an interpreter that assigns semantics to HTML constructs.
Does HTML or LaTeX or Markdown provide a computer instructions which are executed? I'm going to take the unpopular opinion and say they are programming languages.
Is fondant a cake?
Is Linux a operating system?
Hyper Text Markup Language
A. Yes it's a language.
B. People who write HTML have been called Programmers for decades.
C. Are you writing in a kind of pseudo code that the computer is going to transform into another form? Yes.
I think the problem here isn't that HTML isn't a programming language. The problem is that we don't further classify programming languages.
There should be Platform Languages and Client languages.
HTML is most definitely a Client Language.
