Just call it computer programming.

| Modelling language
| Html is not a programming language, it is a modelling language. It's text tags for a browser to recognise regarding how it displays content. That's why you don't have the basic capabilities of a program, like looping or branching, and there's no need to compile.
The browser, not the webpage, is the program. It is written in programming language.
| I'm a computer programmer. I programmed a webpage with HTML and CSS.
"But-"
No, fuck off.

That doesn't make you not a programmer. Nobody is going to care about your exact language choices as long as they know what you're talking about. Just telling you reasons why things are how they are.
| An important part of a program is the ability of branching by 'decision making' via logic operators: comparing, counting and testing some condition. Html does not provide this, it is a data container, an xml-ish thing. The data it contained is only rendered by the browser. It is a formating mechanism to indicate what goes where in a page, but there is virtually nothing in html to allow it to operate and act on the data it contains. It simply holds data, just like xml does.
| That's like calling a house painter an architect. You can argue the usefulness of web developers until the sun dies, I honestly don't care either way. But the developers job is pointless without a browser to run in. Web browsers will happily serve content either way.
| if i click&click at game maker, its programming now officially? ^^
| if i write horror story at word... Am i programming horror worlds? :3
| Writing AIs in PowerPoint is possible though

You program at least the people who read it. But you don't program your computer as it does not compute the text. Except you do some computational linguistics with it.
| So please post some html code that can count or make simple calculations.
| <p>1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10</p>
| I'll try again...
If HTML was a programming language we'd call it HTPL instead.
| Just saying it now. Any manipulation of the computer environment is programming. Made a new file in the GUI file editor? Congratulations, programmer.
| This shit is why newfags are too intimidated to get into computer programming.
| >>318876 You speak with words that do not mean anything. 'Computer Environment'. Is it the room the computer is in, or the entirety of what we call environment variables? And are secretaries who type documents all day programmers? Or Adobe users who work in the publishing industry?
Now, go back to school and complete at least 8 years of it.
| html is is modelling not programming you normie
| This thread is peak /tech/
| All it needs is twenty or so replies about Linux

Some questions:
- are you a troll?
- how do I compile/execute your "program"?
- can you re-"program" it to count to 100?
>>318846
This.

He/she was being sarcastic I think. I laughed when I saw that, it was quite good.
But I may be wrong and it could also be a genuine example of how one implements a loop, or counter, in html...
| "I would explain it to you, but your dumb ape brain can't handle it."
| Humans ARE apes.
| I tried, OP. I really tried. I thought I could put you down gently just in case you were only half trolling. I even feared they'd jump all over me when I said modelling language instead of markup language. They're usually picky when it comes to errors. My best wasn't good enough.
| fyi, if you're being lazy, you don't even need a closing paragraph tag in the HTML5 spec. so that's half of your "programming" already done for you!
| Never seen one op be so defensive about being so wrong
| <p>1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100</p>
| So, a test condition becomes what, something like:
> <p> if a variable named A is equal to the square root of number three, then signal the operating system to close the browser and shut down the system after to minutes </p>
?
| >>321571 that's a cool paragraph you've got there
>>321568 very original, yet again just a text file containing numbers no counting here
| By counting they mean even something as simple as
for N in range(1, 101):
print(N)
That python would display 1-100 when ran
| (it ate my spaces =\)

I don't care. You're making a program for a computer. For the love of God, just call it computer programming.
