Something like this will do it:

&.lt;html&.gt;
   &.lt;head&.gt;
   &.lt;/head&.gt;
   &.lt;body&.gt;
      [stuff]
   &.lt;/body&.gt;
&.lt;/html&.gt; 

using &.lt; and &.gt; instead of < and > to surround markers will usually be good enough though.

[remove the . s ]

I tried removing the < and > but that didnt work; the rest looks hugely complex! Will have a go though. :up:

Didnt work - If I replace [stuff] with the example html code, it just disappears. Do I need the square brackets ?

should have worked, hmmm

check this link which looks like it has oddly familiar example on there  


for anything you dont want a browser to interpret, replace the "<" with "& lt" and ">" with "& gt" (no spaces)

Looks very familiar that does  :mrgreen:  

Well I dont think theres anything wrong with the method; if I put

<img src="blah.jph">

(albeit with the < > replaced as mentioned.)
in a htm document and view it, I get what I want, but if the same bit of text is entered in a form in an online messaging page, it just comes up as two dots. So I presume that there is some overall constriction on certain html coding there; its not outlawed, cos you can use things like the actual example to display pictures, just not the example of the code to do so!

And the Dog site is not bad but there could be more explanation of the context of each code for codechildren like me

just use %lt; and %gt; to replace > and < respectively.

Then you arent writing HTML but it appears correct.

so.. %gt;body%lt; =

Or if you want to make it really simple, just make the code an image.  :mrgreen:

lol but takes next to no effort to write the code in a wordpad document, then use find and replace to replace < and > with the corresponding < > stuffs.

Edit: ah doh.. it formatted the stuffs. but you know what I mean.
