I would guess most would define "code" as being written in a Turing-complete language.
- eyelidlessness 5y agoSo without engaging the ongoing absurd debate about HTML or CSS… can you really say that SVG isn’t code? Forget what “most” would say. In your heart of hearts, can you write <path d="…anything at all"/> and not consider it code? What a disappointing pissing contest.
- bmn__ 5y agoThe guess is based on what? When I observe the world, I come to a different conclusion. I see people including non-programmers talk about HTML as code. I see software packages like editors that say they deal with code, and it's not about T-c languages. Encyclopedias and dictionaries record the definition of code very broadly as interpretation of information, not T-c languages specifically.
