I started learning HTML a little while back and now I have hit a snag regarding displaying '<'. This is the code.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<title>Test html file</title>
<body>
<h1>Sample Heading</h1>
<pre> This is some sample text. Some more text. The pre tag
preserves formatting.
Is a<b?
</pre>
</body>
</html>
The file is locally stored and rendered on my local browser. I expect it should display the text as is, preserving line breaks and whitespace as stated here.
But it doesn't display that, instead it renders everything upto and including 'a'. I understand that the problem is due to '<' being intepreted as the start of a tag, and I am supposed to escape that somehow, but I couldn't find the appropriate syntax for that. Help? Also, what are some other good sources for learning html?
Learn about HTML entities. Code
a<b
Use <
<pre> This is some sample text. Some more text. The pre tag
preserves formatting.
Is a<b?
</pre>
Simply replace < with <.
You can also find other Special characters codes used in Math here.
Here this the code use this same code it will work.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<title>Test html file</title>
<body>
<h1>Sample Heading</h1>
<pre> This is some sample text. Some more text. The pre tag
preserves formatting.
Is a<b?
</pre>
</body>
</html>

Is there a way to enable html in the outlook new message editor that allows you to write HTML directly into the message body without having to attach the HTML email using the insert feature. In other words, I want to write the following into Outlook and have it send what you see below.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Email Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is a Heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
I just want to use simple html like embedding an image or maybe adding bold text. Nothing else.
This is a Heading
This is a paragraph.
Sure, you can use the Inspector.WordEditor property (returns an instance of the Word's Document object) to manipulate the text directly, e.g. using Bookmark.Range.InsertFile

How to display raw HTML code on an HTML page
(30 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
My website is a simple educational one. I want to display HTML code in my web page in a formatted way like they look in a editor. I mean to say the HTML tags should appear in a different color from remaining text etc. This is a code snippet from another website. I want the output of my web page like this:
This is my code :-
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML Tutorial</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="code">
<xmp>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML Tutorial</title>
</head>
<body>
This is a simple HTML page
</body>
</html>
</xmp>
</div>
</body>
</html>
How can I achieve desired behavior in my web page. I thank you all for your efforts.
The most vanilla way to do this and have HTML show up as actual content on your webpage is by wrapping you HTML markup you want to display inside of ' <pre> ' tags.
Then you would need to use HTML entities to show the special characters you need, an open bracket is
<
and a closing bracket is
>
You can also use a plug-in to help aid in making your code look nice, like for syntax highlighting and more. A pretty nice javascript plug-in can be found here http://prismjs.com/
Use appropriate HTML markup. Don't use <xmp>, which isn't in HTML.
Use <pre> to indicate that white space is significant
Use entities for characters with special meaning in HTML (e.g. <)
Use <code> to mark up code (e.g. <code class="html tag start-tag"><title></code>).
Apply CSS for the colours you want. The <code> elements give you something to target.
If you're using Prism as suggested by #JustSomeDude, you might want to use the Unescaped Markup plug-in so that you do not need to use the special characters like < to display your HTML tags.
I want to be able to make code show up on my website so that it shows up with the code on the webpage instead of using it as code in the HTML file itself.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p>Hello World</p>
</body>
</html>
Instead of:
Hello World
I know I explained that horribly but I'm sure you can see where I'm coming from. Can you escape in HTML? Or is there a tag that allows for HTML code to be viewed as text on a webpage?
xmp tag
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<xmp><p>Hello World</p></xmp>
</body>
</html>
keep in mind that xmp tag is considered obsolete, as far as I know it is still supported by most browser but your mileage may vary.
you are safer if you use <pre> and escape html code with < and > like this
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<pre><p>Hello World</p></pre>
</body>
</html>
There is similar question answered on this link: Display HTML code in HTML
In addition, have a look at the following websites
https://craig.is/making/rainbows
https://highlightjs.org/
You can use the xmp property. Anything inside the xmp that is exempted by the browser while rendering the HTML code.
Example :
<xmp><h1>Heading</h1></xmp>
I'm creating a website to help me learn web development. I want to be able to put html on my website, as if it were just text in a paragraph tag. I think that the browser thinks that the html is part of the DOM, because it never renders on the page the way I want. This is the simple code I have been using...
<pre>
<code>
"<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<!--All html goes here-->
</html>
"
</code>
</pre>
Am I doing something wrong? How can I create a box of code on the page without the browser thinking it's part of the DOM?
Thanks in advance!
Use the proper entities:
<pre>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<!--All html goes here-->
</html>
</pre>
There isn't a way to write plain HTML and have it displayed the way you want, using only HTML. The answers to this question may provide further help.
I am using Sublime Text 2 to write my testing html file. I save the text as HTML format.
Then when I try to open the file with browser by either drag&drop or Open_With...
Then.....
The browser open my plain text file, not the actual html.
This is what it look like. Just white background and these text.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<title>A Hello World Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Hello World</p>
</body>
This is my first time with html ever, do I have to do special setup with anything? I just use default SublimeText2.
That may be because you are missing the main tag <html>.
Do this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>A Hello World Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Hello World</p>
</body>
</html>
<html> is the main tag, browser will look for to tell whether it is html or not.
Also make sure it is saved as .html or .htm
Open up Sublime Text, press CTRL SHIFT + P.
Type in HTML into the box and select Set syntax: HTML.
Then, in the file, type in html then press tab straight after and it should create a snippet (which is default):
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Then make sure you save the document as .html or .htm.
This should work in your browser after.
Note: Setting syntax and doing snippet wont actually 'help' in terms of this question, but will help you in HTML by making things quicker and having syntax highlighting.
