Could you explain this a little further?  I thought the "L" in "HTML" was
for language, so I called it one.

I learned a good portion of HTML3 and some of XHTML1.0.  It sure writes
like a "language" to me.  But of course, it is at a higher level than a
programming language, like C.  But then C (and it's updates) is higher than
an assembly language which is higher than a machine language.  I would ask,
how high of a level does one go before it is not officially a language?  Or
am I going down the wrong path?
