Javascript or PHP is a programming language because you can use variables, conditions, loops etc. HTML is not a programming language because you have write tags and can't use variables or conditions. HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. So, HTML is a Markup Language not a Programming Language
That is the dictionary definition of "logic", and not the definition of programming logic.
A mark-up language can be a programming language. They are not mutually exclusive concepts.
HTML has control structures that allow the conditional display of elements (e.g. open in details or dialog) and transitions between pages/states without needing external languages like JS or CSS.
HTML is not Turing complete, but it is enough to create models of computation such as finite-state automata.
It all boils down to what the definition of a programming language is. If we take Turing-completeness as the sole criterion then HTML is not a programming language. But the selection of that criterion is subjective in itself. Not all programming languages are Turing complete. A Turing machine is a mathematical model and not a definition for a programming language.
