I would like to showcase an HTML entity and the way its written in code next to it. I just cant find a way to write & without it turning to @ in my page. What should go with it so it is shown as plain text ?

    `&` is `&` not `@` – j08691 Mar 11 '22 at 16:10

I found it I meant &lt; so I can show case the way you code it and the symbol itself
