there are many more type of websites, other than html

PHP: Facebook, Dream Market, Silk Road(darkweb)
Ruby on Rails: Github, Airbnb
Django: Bitbucket
These technologies can compile into websites in themselves, but they are usually used as backend
Except that all of those produce HTML. They are all HTML websites.
PHP stands for "PHP Hypertext Preprocessor" because it is a Preprocessor of HTML (HyperText Markup Language).

From a browser's perspective, every website is HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

please don't take this as a recommendation to use that, but it does exist.
Tell me in your own words what you think hypertext is.
