It's not "written" in anything. It's a markup language. HTML is parsed by the browser which renders the webpage to display.

It isn't a programming language. But maybe if it helps, you could think of HTML as a interpreted language and the browser as an interpreter.

If you're talking about how it is implemented by a browser, it is usually written in an object-oriented language due to its modular nature.

Firefox - which uses C++ - has an open source policy, you can view the code for the html parser here.

  • HTML 5 is not defined in terms of another language
