Your definition of a program is inaccurate. Whoever wrote that definition
gave a raw and very bland definition. HTML is a document layout/formatting
script. HTML is more a script language then a real programming language.
HTML is for formatting the layout of a web-document. More powerful script
languages are used to do mathematics.
For example, show me an HTML that does not use any forms of script
languages including PHP that does mathematics. The rule is use pure HTML
tags. At the same time, show me an HTML page that gives the user the
ability to control a rectangular paddle and move it around to bounce a
ball. Hey, make a "PONG" game in HTML (no script languages allowed) - only
pure HTML. NO PHP.
