How to display HTML tags as text

Question

How can I display HTML tags on an .html page without trying my browser to do everything the tag has.

Answer 1

You must use the shielded version. For example, < becomes < (without quotes) and & becomes & .

You should be able to find a complete list of conversions.

Fragment example:

 <a href="http://google.com">Google</a> 

is a shielded version:

 <a href="http://google.com">Google</a> 

Edit:

Standard list of objects: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/sgml/entities.html

Answer 2

You can use the php function " highlight_string(); " for example:

 <?php highlight_string('<?php phpinfo(); ?>'); ?> 

It will output the input as a color-coded string.
check out your php documentation: http://php.net/manual/en/function.highlight-string.php

Answer 3

The response to the insertion of tags into the body part can be passed through the <textarea> . Text or tags entered between the open and close <textarea> tags will be displayed as such.
