I'm not. I know that html is not a programming language; I said so in
my original post.

Yes. I'm referring to the whole document, what it contains, and what
browsers are expected to do with it all when they open the document.

I said that html should be considered a programming language. The
reason being, that it allows you to create, in effect, a single script
for a browser to process, parts of which may be executable. That
statement is what sparked off this sub-thread. In retrospect, I
probably should have chosen my words more carefully.
