But you're taking the analogy in the wrong direction.  HTML is a markup
language, so it specifies markup; it doesn't specify programs.  The
output of a Word session is a formatted document, and same is true with
HTML.  The result is not a program.

The issue wasn't that using an IDE made it not a program, the issue was
the inherent action that was taking place (marking up text) is what made
it not programming.
