Yeah, but it might not be documented in the MDN.

I think the closest you will get is from 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements, 
first sentence:

| JavaScript applications consist of statements […].

If you want to look further, you're encouraged to look at the ECMAScript 
definition of "program code".

Notice that a HTML "executable script" might not be a JavaScript script. 
There are many other scripting languages.
