What is The Difference Between HTML And PostScript, Programming Languages
HTML is a Markup Language, while PostScript is an Interpreted Programming Language
What are Markup Languages
A markup language is an artificial language that uses annotations to text that define how the text is to be displayed.
What are Interpreted Programming Languages
An interpreted language is a programming language for which most of its implementations execute instructions directly, without previously compiling a program into machine-language instructions. The interpreter executes the program directly, translating each statement into a sequence of one or more subroutines already compiled into machine code. (Wikipedia)
While HTML is a Markup Language, and PostScript is an Interpreted Programming Language
Let us now look at the difference between the two:
What is HTML Programming Language – A brief synopsis
Hypertext Markup Language, abbreviated as HTML, is the most prominent markup language that is used for web pages. It is written in the form of HTML tags that are surrounded by angular brackets. HTML tags describe the appearance of the text in a document and can be embedded into certain other code to affect the web browser behavior. HTML uses the SGML default syntax.
What is PostScript Programming Language – A brief synopsis
It is used in the desktop publishing field and is known as a page description language. It is a dynamically typed stack-based programming language developed by John Warnock, an American computer scientist and Charles Geschke, a notable figure in the field of computer science. These developers went on to found the very well-known company, Adobe Systems.
