Is there a way to write HTML onto a webpage, but have it rendered as text?
Let me explain: I want to build a webpage with a discussion on HTML. Therefore there will be sections like
<div>
<p>
<span>Hello world</span>
</p>
</div>
I would like that to formatted properly with indentation, and perhaps even have the tags in a different colour scheme.
I'm fully aware that I could write the styling for this myself, but surely someone has already written and made available a stylesheet, a LESS mixin, or perhaps a jQuery plugin which recognises and formats for me?
UPDATE: Just to make people aware, I realise that I have to HTML-encode the tags (< and >). But that doesn't help with the formatting/presentation, and it's the formatting/presentation that I'm looking for help with.

You can show HTML tags as plain text in HTML on a website or webpage by replacing < with < or &60; and > with > or &62; on each HTML tag that you want to be visible. Ordinarily, HTML tags are not visible to the reader on the browser.
Use HTML Special Character Codes var myCode = "<b>This is not bold</b>"; $('span#code-span'). text(myCode); Using text instead of html will cause tags to be rendered exposed instead of being executed.
Images can be displayed on an HTML page with the help of the <img> tag.
Use the <xmp> tag instead of <pre>.
E.g.
<xmp>
<html>
<body>This is my html inside html.</body>
</html>
</xmp>
