There are various ways to do so

  1. You may use <pre></pre> tag
<pre>
   your-code
</pre>
  1. using special <code> tag
<pre>
  <code>
    your-code
  </code>
</pre>
  1. you may like to use the HTML code within 
<![CDATA[<your-code>]]>
  1. use any syntax highligtening library e.g. prettify or syntaxhighlighter

You will have to use:

  1. The <pre> - Preformatted tag to display the html text
  2. The &lt; - Less than tag in place of < tag in your code
  3. The &gt; - Greater than tag in place of > tag in your code.

    i.e <div> shall be replaced by &lt;div&gt;

Brief example

<pre>
&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
&lt;html&gt;
&lt;body&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;The code element&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The HTML &lt;code&gt;button&lt;/code&gt; tag defines a clickable button.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The CSS &lt;code&gt;background-color&lt;/code&gt; property defines the background color of an element.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
</pre>
