I am a generator creator on it, and I just wanna know if it is coding or programming since it also uses HTML πŸ™‚

There's a Khan Academy thing saying it is

Markup languages like HTML are declarative. That means you use it to describe the result you want but you don’t give it any instructions for how to actually do that. An imperative language is used to actually describe the behavior. Traditional programming languages are imperative. An imperative language is necessary to interpret the HTML and actually display the content in the desired way. You can’t use HTML to accomplish anything by itself. This distinction is why calling HTML a programming language is contentious.

They can say that, but the truth is that it is not.
