printing "" using html

Question

How do I print the "html" tag, including '<' and '>'? How can I do this for any tag, without using text areas and Javascript?

There are a few websites that automatically convert the special characters to their HTML equivalent. https://nrecursions.blogspot.com/2014/11/posting-html-css-and-javascript-code-in.html — Nav, Sep 04 '19 at 06:48

Use HTML character references:

&lt;html&gt;

Should output

<html>

Special characters in HTML, such as '<', '>', '"' and '&' can be printed using the following format:

&name;

where name would be replaced by a character name. The most common would then be

&lt;   =   <    (less than)
&gt;   =   >    (greater than)
&amp;  =   &    (ampersand)
&quot; =   "    (double quote)

So to write <html> you would write in HTML:

&lt;html&gt;

If you want to display <html> literally, use reference to represent the tag open delimiter < and the tag close delimiter >, for example:

&lt;html&gt;

This will then be displayed as:

<html>

Please have a look at html entities

You can use the entity names directly in your html.

<p> <html> </p> will render as <html>.

likewise

<p> 3 > 2 </p> will render as 3 > 2.

Try all the html entities and check the output in this Fiddle

To put < and > characters in HTML, you have to input their corresponding character sequences. For example, <'s sequence is < while >'s sequence is >. If you replace all the < and > with their corresponding characters you will be able to present the HTML code in your website. However, this process can be a bit tedious. This is why there are tools on the internet that help you do this. For example:

https://displayhtmlcode.pythonanywhere.com/ (A very simple website that does just what you need it to do.)

Do you have any affiliation with the linked website? This answer says the same thing as other answers, plus a link to a website which seems like it could be self-promotion to me. – Stephen Ostermiller Jan 19 '22 at 08:52
