html). Likewise, HTML tags like <p></p> in HTML code are displayed as HTML paragraphs.
So what's the key to displaying raw code? No doubt I am missing something.
Thanks for any tips!


I would like to display samples of code on a web page--both HTML and PHP--but it is not working well. I see examples of code on other sites that work fine, and they are simply wrapped in <code></code> tags.
For example, if I want to display PHP code starting with <?php and ending with ?>, rather than just display as is, the code gets processed and output (if the page is .php) or does not appear (if the page is .html). Likewise, HTML tags like <p></p> in HTML code are displayed as HTML paragraphs.

Besides using entities for reserved special characters, you will likely want to wrap the code in the pre element, a block level container.
Code:
  1. <pre><code>
  2.       <form action="foo"
  3.             method="post">
  4.         <fieldset>
  5.           <legend>first group</legend>
  6. </code></pre>
Copy Code
cheers,

Thanks for that Gary. I tried this, and using the pre tags certainly produced a nicer result (I was also able to do away with some br tags as well).
Then I tried just using the pre tags without the code tags, and that produced the same result.
So what's the point of using the code tags at all?
