This may be very simple but I have no idea how to do it. I want to show an HTML code in a webpage but I dont want it to get executed. Is there any special tag which can prevent it being executed and just show raw code in the webpage? Any help is appreciated.

well there is.
the <pre> tag.
ur code has to be in between <pre> </pre>

Another way is to insert it into a texbox like the quickreply of this website.

Like Trefer said you can put the code in a textbox. That is the best way to go. That is how I do it.

From past expierence use a textbox, the pre tags dont seem to work for me! Im annoyed with that but text boxes work just as well.

< with >
> with <

Simply pout the text in a text box and you are done, the best way to do it, it retains the html codes unlike other methods where it can be disturbed
