Infallibility?

In order to truly make the statement in the beginning true: Like it's super-language HTML, HTPL should be designed to be infallible (or error free). Meaning that like Text there are no 'wrong' programs that will result in any error or exemption. In order to still call it a strict subset, one could argue that programs without <htpl> tags can't be considered 'valid' HTPL programs (even tho they technically were).

However, the bigger issue would be that it would probably undermine the fact that HTPL is a 'real' programming language. Like Text, people would be inclined to think of it rather as a text-editor language, which goes against the core principal of this language. --thisIsTheFoxe (talk) 20:56, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
