Question

I am building a simple html tutorial for my university . But I am not able to put the examples within the html file ! I tried <code></code> but it did not worked ! I searched google but no help from there .

Answer 1

You need to HTML escape any HTML special characters.
To conserve the indentation, you should wrap it in <pre> tags.
To format it as code visually, you should also wrap it in <code> tags.
The results looks like this:

<pre><code>
&lt;p&gt;
   This is an example of
   &lt;strong&gt;HTML&lt;/strong&gt;.
&lt;/p&gt;
</code></pre>

This is rendered as:

<p>
   This is an example of
   <strong>HTML</strong>.
