Counterpoint: A declarative language made and used to program a browser is still a programming language, regardless of its name, heritage, or differences from imperative languages.
Hypertext markup Language. Yeah this sorta reminds me of why I stopped following r/ProgrammerHumour on the old site - too many cheap potshots at Perl, PHP and HTML, as if they weren't fantastic tools that powered the creation of the internet we have today. Kids, man, SMH
Well l take your point, but here I took 'programming language' in the colloquial sense to mean 'language used for programming' whereas you seem to have read it as 'turing-complete language'; neither is fully justifiable since there's ambiguity, but given that it's a crossword I think that's fine and all part of the game.
Not OP but I think it looks like Shortyz on Android, which I used for a long time, but I recently switched to Forkyz (an unofficial fork of Shortyz) because it gets more active support. You can get it on F-droid or its current repo on Gitlab.

Even wikipedia hints at this with a hello world program.

Markup language ≠ programming language.
Markups produce layout, not code.
Typesetting (the Gutenberg way) produce books, not run the looms.

Can it manipulate data, does it have logic? Those are the only factors, it doesn't even need to be Turing complete.
You can write a composition and play it through the browser, but that doesn't mean your notes are a programming language.

Yea, HTML isn't the web programming language... XHTML is.

I have had to stop telling people that HTML is not a programming language. I crushed too many souls that way.
