Simple HTML doesn't, but making a whole webpage from scratch is most definitely programming even if it is simple. HTML is indeed considered a very basic programming language
And CSS does have some programming to it. Look at the code, it does resemble other programming languages, even down to the point of having documentation. But like the other anon said, the idea was to give something practical to try that will help OP anon better understand the mindset of the character because RP isn't going to need them to actually write code, so there's no need to learn more than terms for something like C++ or Java. What they will need is to understand the process and mindset of the character and CSS and HTML will provide that because they do have similar tenets and processes as other programming languages have, they just are far more simple because they are more inserting additional code into something already programmed.
