<pre> tag not working ...

This seems to be developing a life beyond what I wanted. Using 'textarea' tags works and nobody has come up with a better method.
The requirement is to show html code in a browser page. Whether that page is generated by ASP, PHP or Mrs Fruitcakes own scripting language isn't relevant. Also the link is fictitious.
I'm done.

Did you try just putting the appropriate HTML entities in place of the < and > characters as suggested earlier by vacunita?. You can then just stick it in a <p> or anything else - and it validates.
Code: 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">[/URL]
<html xmlns="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">[/URL]
<head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

<title>test</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1> first page
</h1>
<p><a href="#">Here</a></p>
</body>
</html>
