HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is not considered a programming language. It is a markup language used for structuring content on the web, not for performing logical operations or computations like traditional programming languages. HTML defines the structure of web pages using elements (such as headings, paragraphs, and links) but lacks features like conditional statements, loops, or variable manipulation, which are common in programming languages. While HTML is essential for web development, it is used alongside programming languages like JavaScript, CSS, or server-side languages to create interactive and dynamic websites. Hence, HTML is a markup language, not a programming language.
