HTML: The "Programming Language" That Isn't

Someone created a Wikipedia-style article claiming HTML is a "Turing-complete, stack-based programming language" complete with pseudo-code showing HTML tags as programming commands.

HTML is a markup language for structuring web content, not a programming language—it can't process data or execute logic. Calling HTML a programming language around actual developers is like calling a bicycle a motorcycle because they both have wheels. The creator of this abomination deserves a special place in developer hell, right next to the people who use regex to parse HTML.
