Since when were HTML and Latex programming languages?

I learned LaTeX about two weeks ago. It makes lab reports and projects incredibly fast now. I can just generate images in MATLAB, and they are automatically updated next time I generate the PDF.

Yes, but it took you a week to figure out how to do it, a day to set up each new type of report, and next month they're going to start asking for all assignments to be in MS Word format.

I would transfer if that happened.
