I mean it's not that big a deal but they shouldn't act like they know what they don't. I hate when people do that.

Html. Is. A. Programming language. End of story. I know, blah blah blah "it's a markdown language" - no. Html has built in logic. Definition of a programming language from Wikipedia: "A programming language is a formal computer language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer."
Does that not fit html? -
SHA-25614468y@willbeddow HTML has a Logic ? I think it's called Hyper Text MARKUP Language for a reason :) It's just a XML with premade tags afaik might be wrong though

@SHA-256 that's what it's called, but it evolved into a programming language. Check out the source of any moderate sized web page and you'll see IE conditional statements. When M$ made everyone start putting if statements in their html, it became a programming language. Also, I would argue that unlike markdown or XML, it points to and executes other code in a much more direct way. Plus, even if you argue that "pure" html isn't a programming language, when's the last time you saw "pure" html?
