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

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.
