Is there a universal language for layout of scientific texts and web-projects?

Is there a universal language, having learned which one could use it for layout of scientific literature, printing, design documentation (ESKD, mathematics, chemistry, etc.) and also for layout of web projects (HTML+CSS+XML)?
For example, I heard about TeX, LateX, Markdown - it seems that they can be used easily for scientific texts and just at the household level, but is it convenient and can it be used for layout of web projects (JS, HTML, CSS)?
Is it possible in some way, even at the WISIWYG level, to adapt the use of HTML + CSS + JS + XML technologies for layout of scientific texts?
So what are the other alternatives?

Write in Word. For
... is the standard.
As for the web, there are editors on the site into which you can stupidly copy-paste text from the Word. Besides Word is able to save in HTML, the truth IMHO there after it is necessary to correct.
If Word'a is not enough, then some kind of LateX thread, but it will obviously be more difficult with the web there.

Sometimes the R language is used (very convenient for statistics, etc.), and specifically R Markdown if you need to count a lot.
It can be published directly from R Studio as Web to RPubs.com. All commands are configurable, you can show the code, or you can not.
When publishing, knitr will convert and run the code (no need to change anything by hand) and create a pdf, doc, html, or even an app of your choice.
So:
rpubs.com/linnustonseuranta/vesilintulaskenta
Or as a presentation:
https://rpubs.com/mdlama/153935
Or even as a map:
rpubs.com/linnustonseuranta/vesilintulaskenta
Apps:
