HTML which classifies it as a markup language

I said it before. There is no proof that markup language can't be a programming language as well. What about Postscript?

Here is another definition of a programming language:

A programming language consists of (1) a syntax, given as a formal grammar; and (2) a semantics

1: w3.org/TR/html52/syntax.html#syntax
2: w3.org/TR/html52/dom.html#elements...

Just to remove this argument about "official definition"
