I saw this on Lissa's website once, but I can't find it, what is the code to show HTML codes on a website? it was like <x something>

<xmp> & </xmp> this is only to show unformatted text tho.

Thanks, but what does unformatted mean?

it means it shows up as black text and you can change the font size. if you want formatted text then you need to use this:

&gt; for this: >

and

&lt; for this: <

I thought it was

<code>
your code
</code>

Never mind it's just on this where you can use [*code]
Code
[*/code]

(Without the *)

Yes,

Using darkowl's code, you must know the 'display' code for each HTML charachter (<,>,copyright etc.)
