Print html to the screen on your web page

[bhogaj31]

Hi,

I am having trouble trying to print some of my html code to the screen. I am trying to print an example of html code to the screen, so a visitor can actually see a line of html.

What tag do I have to put my text into to display the html code to the screen?

I just want to do this in basic html.

Any help much appreciated

You have to replace all your < with &lt; and all your > with &gt;

either that, or place it in a textarea so it doesnt get interpreted by the browser.

<textarea>some html here</textarea>

Never use BLOCKQUOTE for this purpose: browser renders text inside BLOCKQUOTE. You want to print </BODY> tag - what do you suppose this means?..

The only way to print HTML code on HTML page: see kaht's post above. Strictly speaking, you must replace quotes and ampersands too (&quot; and &amp; respectively)...

Thanks guys, that is great.

I saw the &lt; and &gt; references somewhere before but couldn't work out if they were just for showing code or something else. I will do some more reading.
