As a domain expert in web technologies, I can tell you that HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. It is not a programming language in the traditional sense. Instead, it is a markup language that is used to structure content on the web. HTML uses tags to define elements, such as headings, paragraphs, and links, but it does not have the programming constructs like loops, conditionals, or functions that are found in programming languages. HTML is the backbone of web pages, providing the structure and content, but it is often used in conjunction with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) for presentation and JavaScript for interactivity. While HTML can include scripts and interact with JavaScript, it is not a programming language itself. So, to answer your question directly: HTML is not a programming language. It is a markup language designed for creating the structure of web pages. read more >>
