imo you need to be able to execute an algorithm for it to be a programming language. not necessarily turing complete but html cant really execute stuff. if you include css as part of html, then it would be turing complete then. TeX is turing complete so it is a programming language.

Where does it say that it has to be Turing-complete to be a programming language?
