This leads me to wonder, what terms would you use for someone who
specializes in computer languages for structuring and formatting
data, such as HTML/CSS or Docbook XML (but not limited to these by
any stretch)
Well, they're not programming languages, they're markup
languages. Writing in a programming language is programming.
Writing in a markup language is...marking up, perhaps?

conditionals, and looping constructs?
Variables, yes. Conditionals, yes. Looping, not sure. Have to
go look.
