    Does HTML or LaTeX or Markdown provide a computer instructions which are executed? I’m going to take the unpopular opinion and say they are programming languages.

    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

        If you can write a moderately complex math equation in tex on the first try, you’re a programmer in my book.

      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.
