Hi all,

I recently had a discussion about the .pov files and the action the user 
does when he modifies / creates such a file.

Well, as of the documentation it's a scene-describing-language.
That's IMHO kind of markup language (please correct me).
Though, it's no programming language, such as C, C++, or Pascal, is it?

You do normally say, I'm coding on a new projekt (i.e. a word processor, 
written in C).... so you're programming on that word processor (the program 
you want to have at the end).
But now, imagin, you want to make a new picture, created using the POV-Ray 
tool. What do you say here? Are you programming a new picture? (what do you 
say in HTML?) is it programming? isn't it?

Well, I'm completely confused and I'd like to get some opinions from you,

Have many thanks,
Christian Parpart.
