Agree with what you said, however, HTML is a document description language and not a presentation format. CSS is for presentation (assuming you meant styling).

They didn't mean styling.

HTML is a markup language that identifies the functional role of bits of text. In that sense, it is there to provide information about how to present the text, and is thus a presentation format.

It is also a document description language, because almost all document description languages are also a presentation format.
