Rendering HTML code as text

Question

I have to make a an HTML tutorial. I need to show in the page html code examples. So, I want to have code displayed like this:

 <h1>hi</h1>

not like this

hi

Is there any tag to do this? Or how can I do this only with HTML?

Do you mean the `
` and `` elements? Normally you'd also use `<` and `>` for the `<` and `>` within those tags. — j08691, Mar 01 '16 at 20:21

You can encode characters to get them to show on a live page. For tags, use < to make a < and > to make >.

<h1>&lt;h1&gt;text&lt;/h1&gt;</h1>

You can see more ways to change various characters when you write HTML at the link below. http://www.escapecodes.info/
