The “program” is the package of instructions that tell the machine what to do. The instructions are written in a programming language.
With a markup language, the markup is the input to a program (like a browser) that tells the machine what to do.
But I think it’s not really boolean, it’s a sliding scale. Especially with so many programming languages being interpreted or JIT compiled. I think it’s less a programming language than many other programming-related things, but more of a programming language than, say, a slideshow.

programing languages arent use to make programs they are used to program machines which is exactly what u do with html.

Which HTML cannot do, because if it could, that would be called a program. That’s what the word means.
HTML makes documents. It’s a markup language. It’s not even Turing-complete accidentally.
I mean technically I could write an interpreter that assigns semantics to HTML constructs.
