Use special characters
You'll need to use special characters (ISO Entities) for your angle brackets (<...>).
Let's say your offering code inside of a textarea for your visitors to copy. As opposed to inserting your code like:
<html>
<head>
Etc.....
You need to use < and > to make your brackets. Here's an example:
<html>
<head>
<title>Example</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000" link="#0000ff" alink="ff0000" vlink="#800080">
<form>
<textarea rows="7" name="displayHTML" cols="45" wrap="virtual" style="width:50%">
<html>
</textarea>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Copy/paste/preview the above to see what I mean.
See http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/...al_characters/ for more special characters.
Sorry for such a brief explaination, reply back here if you need further assistance

You can do this if you have PHP on your server. Just create a string with the html in it and use the following code
PHP Code:<?
$string = "<html><head>....</html>";
echo htmlspecialchars($string);
