Programming language have functional purposes. HTML, as a MARKUP LANGUAGE doesn't really "do " anything in the sense that a programming language does.HTML contains no programming logic. It doesn't have common conditional statements such as if/else. It can't evaluate expression or do any math. It doesn't handle events or carry out tasks. You can't declare variables and you can't write functions. It doesn't modify or manipulate date in any way. HTML can't take input and produce output.Think of it this way : You can't compute the sum of 2+2 in HTML ;This is because HTML is not a programming language.

Let's take a quick trip down memory lane. In 1989 at CERN the idea of hypertext was concieved. The year is 1990 and the World Wide Web is now in full force with many broad implications being taken into account thus drastically changing the networking world. Once we understand HTTP we understand HTML and how it is a markup language.
