This seems intuitively to be the case but I wonder what others think. Neither HTML not CSS have your regular programming language constructs like loops and state and what have you. I sometimes teach very basic web tech to arts/humanities students and I tend to make a static versus dynamic distinction for them between HTML/CSS on the one hand and JS on the other because to them it's all "codey stuff" but to me there's an important distinction. I'm happy to take on board other perspectives here.

I've not clicked through the article, but before I saw any comments here, I thought it was claiming that 16% of the HTML on the average site was devoted to Open Graph Stories markup, like / share buttons, and other embedded FB widgets. (But that was already primed in my mind, as a couple of days I'd been examining the source of a website that had a ludicrously huge Head section, and it was filled with Facebook sharing markup.)
- mercer 9y agoInteresting. I would have never assumed as you did precisely because 16% of markup is a drop in the bucket compared to 16% of code (or CSS, even).
- fnord123 9y agoTuring incomplete code (sql, bpf, agda) is code. ergo markup is code. imo, ymmv.
