Showing Code in HTML? - Programming - Sep 18, 2013
This sounds like a newbish question, but I want to show HTML code on my website. But since it is actual code, it doesn't show on the site and is hidden. Ex: "This is how you use a header: <h1> Hello </h1>"
But it actually shows Hello using H1 and doesn't actually display <h1>.

Trying using the character codes for the symbols instead of straight up typing them.
EDIT: Here, look at this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6817262/how-to-display-html-tags-as-plain-text

You could also insert it into an image for all your examples, may make your website look a little better also.

I believe you can put code into a certain kind of "box" that doesn't "execute" the code. Or you could always comment it in and tell them what to do.
I'm not sure what the box is, I've saw it a few times on w3schools etc.

EDIT: Scratch that. Just use < and >

I believe you can wrap it in <pre> and </pre>, but I might be wrong.
