Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
ACKSHUALLY ... markup languages do not produce a formatted document. They define semantic elements of the document. The formatting is done by the compiler (whatever it is in the individual context) based on styles defined by a styling language.
That's true! Although many people use makeup to do styling using the default styles... Which is... Not great.
But regardless I think my point still holds, it's not providing instructions for a machine, it's the data the instructions act on. But the difference between data and instructions is a blurry one
