Originally, only "programming" languages were included in repository
language statistics. In 33ebee0f6a we
started detecting a few selected "markup" languages as well. We didn't
include all "markup" languages because at the time formats like Markdown
and AsciiDoc were labeled as "markup" languages, and we thought that
including those prose (i.e., non-code) languages in repository
statistics on github.com was misleading for repositories that are
largely about code but also contain a lot of documentation (e.g.,
rails/rails).
This hand-picked set of whitelisted "markup" languages can cause strange
categorization for some repositories. For example, it includes CSS (and
some variants) but not HTML. This results in repositories that contain
the source code for a static website being classified as either a
JavaScript (programming) or CSS (markup) repository, with no mention of
HTML anywhere.
Fast-forward to today, and prose languages are no longer "markup"
languages; they're now "prose" languages. So now we can include all
"markup" languages in repository language statistics without worrying
about undesirable effects for documentation-heavy repositories.
