    Yes. Markup-Languages are a subset of Programming-Languages. Turing completness doesn’t matter as things like magic the gathering and habbo hotel are Turing complete

      I feel like programming language produces programs, and makeup languages formatted documents.

      I wouldn’t consider a formatted document to be a program, so I don’t consider a markup language to be a programming language.

      Doesn’t make it less valuable, though

        ACKSHUALLY … markup languages do not produce a formatted document. They define semantic elements of the document. The formatting is done by the compiler (whatever it is in the individual context) based on styles defined by a styling language.

      ‘This markup language isn’t even as capable as Habbo Hotel, but it counts anyway because I just called it a programming language.’

      There is a literal hierarchy of syntaxes which are recognized by different categories of machine. Programs require a Turing machine. Anything lesser - in a subset like pushdown automata or finite-state machines - doesn’t need a proper computer. So it’s not a program.
