HTML is an ASCII stream. PostScript is an ASCII stream. PostScript is
a powerful, yet simple to implement interactively expandable
all-purpose programming language with a focus on device-independant

HTML is just a simple markup language. PostScript with a couple
screens of code can do everything HTML do, and More.
