I have many pages of html and I want to write a text like this 'DOM<space>LUNCH'.
But when I write the text like above then it showing space instead of in browser,
because browser understand as a html tag and print is as a space. :
Like this:'DOM LUNCH'.
I used this also 'DOM \<space\> LUNCH',so that it will ignore the next letter,but noting goes right.
Please tell me how can I write a string in html like this:'DOM<space>LUNCH'
Even I am not able to post the question as I want, because browser understand space and <> as space actually.
Use < and >.
<mytag>
The closing part of the tag doesn't absolutely have to be replaced however.
<mytag>

Disclaimer: I'm super new to this and know very little about the technical terms. I might just not know what to search for in order to find the answer I need. In that case I would really appreciate someone just pointing me the right way.
Now, the problem/question:
Is there a way to avoid things like this:
<table>
<th>
<tr>One </tr>
<tr>Two</tr>
<tr>Three</tr>
</th>
</table>
displaying as if you typed this
<table><br>
<th><br>
<tr>One </tr><br>
<tr>Two</tr><br>
<tr>Three</tr><br>
</th><br>
</table><br>
because using "enter" in the text-box when writing a post is automatically rendered as a line break. Is there something you can put at the beginning of a post to overwrite/ignore this kind of global "enter = line break" thing for that post? As is, I have to type in tables and other things in this format to make it display correctly:
<table><th><tr>One </tr><tr>Two </tr><tr>Three </tr></th></table>
It gets a little hard to navigate after a while đ
(I can only use things that can be written directly into a post)
I'd really appreciate any kind of help - even if it is a plain and simple "nope, can't be done" - then I at least know I can stop searching ^^
Thanks!
Newlines in HTML code should not matter (more precisely, they are just whitespaces) and they definitely do not render as newlines "by themselves".
If the newlines in yout HTML render as newlines on your screen, there must be something else in your HTML or CSS code that causes this. For example the <pre> or <code> HTML element or white-space:pre in your CSS. All of these (and a few other ones) instruct the browser that newlines in HTML should render as newlines on the screen.
I have a code that saves (html code) plus (some text) in mysql from textarea.
I then take the text from the mysql and display it under the textarea. The thing is if I save the code
<div style="color:red">Hello</div>
in mysql and then display it, I see Hello in red, but I want to see the actual
<div style="color:red">Hello</div>
to appear under the textarea. I hope you understand my problem.
so when you've grabbed the data from the database you want to actually display the html, rather than the page rendering the html?
if so just use the php function htmlentities();
You can use the xmp element, see What was the tag used for. It has been in HTML since the beginning and is supported by all browsers. Specifications frown upon it, but HTML5 CR still describes it and requires browsers to support it (though it also tells authors not to use it, but it cannot really prevent you).
Everything inside xmp is taken as such, no markup (tags or character references) is recognized there, except, for apparent reason, the end tag of the element itself, .
Otherwise xmp is rendered like pre.
When using âreal XHTMLâ, i.e. XHTML served with an XML media type (which is rare), the special parsing rules do not apply, so xmp is treated like pre. But in âreal XHTMLâ, you can use a CDATA section, which implies similar parsing rules. It has no special formatting, so you would probably want to wrap it inside a pre element:
<![CDATA[
This is a demo, tags will
appear literally.
<div style="color:red">Hello</div>
]]>
you can refer this ans : https://stackoverflow.com/a/16785992/3000179
If you want to do on browser level, you can follow the steps :
Replace the & character with &
Replace the < character with <
Replace the > character with >
Optionally surround your HTML sample with <pre> and/or <code>
tags.
Hope this helps.

How to display raw HTML code on an HTML page
(30 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I know it is possible because this website does it, but I tried researching how and just got a bunch of junk, so how do I add tags to a website paragraph without the browser interpreting it as code.
For example, if I have <p><div></div></p>, I want the div to display in the browser as text not have the browser interpret it as html. Is this complicated to do?
I have been writing tutorials for school, and it would be much easier if I could add the code directly to the webpage in text form instead of images, so students can copy and paste it.
Look at how this website itself achieves this:
<p>For example, if I have <code><p><div></div></p></code>, I want the div to display in the browser as text not have the browser interpret it as html. Is this complicated to do?</p>
You need to replace the < and > with their HTML character entities.
There are many ways to use:
Replace < with <
`<h1>This is heading </small></h1>`
Place the code inside </xmp><xmp> tags
<xmp>
<ul>
<li>Coffee</li>
<li>Tea</li>
</ul>
</xmp>
I do not recommend other ways because they do not work on all browsers like <plaintext> or <listing>.
You want to look into something called HTML Entities.
If you want the < character to appear on a website, for example, you can write this HTML code: <. These are the five basic HTML Entities and their source code equivalents:
< <
> >
" "
' '
& &
If you are using a programming language (such as PHP or ASP.NET), then there is probably a built-in command that will do the conversion for you (htmlspecialchars() and Server.HtmlEncode, respectively).
Use the tag <PRE> before a block of reformatted text and </PRE> after.
The text between these tags is rendered as monospaced characters with line breaks and spaces at the same points as in the original file. This may be helpful for rendering poetry without adding a lot of HTML code. Try this:
Mary had a little lamb.
Its fleece was white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary went
the lamb was sure to go.
To add plain text code in a webpage, HTML Character Escaping is needed on five characters:
< as <> as >& as &' as '" as "
(OR)
<xmp> tag may also be used as an alternate, this tag disturbs the style and is obsolete.
<xmp>Code with HTML Tags like <div> etc. </xmp>
Use the html entity/special character of the tag, such as < (for less than)
<p> in html -> <p> in browser
You could also write <p> since there is no ambiguity about the opening tag.
Many languages have built in methods to convert HTML special characters such as php's htmlspecialchars
You need to escape the HTML tags, namely the less-than sign. Write it as < and it will appear as < on the HTML page.
Your html needs to not be in tags. If you use the <> tags you will have it converted into code not text, if I was to write <br> in the middle of a sentence then it would do this You will need to Write the code in code so to speak, using the < > (< >)
and then you get what you need.
I just discovered a much simpler solution at CSS-Tricks...
Just have your outer-most wrapper be a 'pre' tag, followed by a 'code' tag, then inside the code tag put your code in paranthesis.
The simplest way to do it without having to reformat your text using entities is to use JQuery.
<div id="container"></div>
<script>
$('#container').text("<div><h1>Hello!</h1><p>I like you.</p></div>");
</script>
If you then do alert($('#container').prop('innerHTML'));, you get <div><h1>Hello!</h1><p>I like you.</p></div>
How useful that technique is depends somewhat on where your material is coming from.

<iframe src="html.txt"></iframe>
Yes, I am struggling with displaying data from our database that CONTAINS markup! One particular field I am displaying has an open-bold tag but no close bold tag. I am trying to 'contain' this markup so it doesn't affect the rest of the page.
The data coming from my database is like this text:
this is soem nasty <b>data
(note the lack of a closing < /b > tag)
If I enclose the markup in a div, the rest of the page is bold:
<div>this is some nasty <b>data</div>
However if I wrap it in a table like this:
<table><tr><td>this is some nasty <b>data</td></tr></table>
All is well! In fact, the DOM inspector for both FF (FireBug) and IE9 show the tree. In the div-case, it shows the open-b tag and the rest of the document contained within it. But the table seems to enclose it.
How can I get this to 'close the b' without a table?
You use a closing </b> tag properly, like any sane human being.
You can use DOMDocument and tidy to try and fix the malformed markup in case you have no control over it, but it's best if you could fix it before it got to your database.
I've read somewhere that HTML Purifier should be able to achieve this. Might be worth trying.
I took a cue from HTML rich-text editors like TinyMCE and built up an IFrame. It seems to contain the arbitrary, possibly-mal-formed content better.
I've been working on this for way too long. I'm trying to put HTML inside the title attribute of a tag. This is for a tooltip. Of course, if this is going to be possible, then I have to escape all of the necessary characters so it doesn't screw up the tag in which it is contained. To be specific, how can I fit the following inside the title attribute of a tag:
test
That is, I want this:
<div title="test">my div</div>
I feel like I've tried everything. Is this even possible?
I googled HTML Escape Characters and found a tool to do it: http://accessify.com/tools-and-wizards/developer-tools/quick-escape/default.php
It produced this string which you can use:
<a href="test">test</a>
if you are using jquery you can do it like this
$('div').attr('title','test');
if you want to escape html tags then you simply can do this
if your test is in a div something like this
<div id="tag">test</div>
then you can do $('div').attr('title', $("#tag").text());
