How do you quote html tags in an html document. I know you can do it in BBcode by using the [code] command, but how do you do it in HTML?

...Nope, was wrong about that. Tested it myself and it didn't work. How do you do it? Well I'll be following my own advice and looking trough my refrence page.
And for future refrence just use this.
It's what I use when I need to find a tag.

I'm not stupid, I use this for reference, I just couldn't find the tag that did exactly what I needed, and I was in a hurry.

But thanks for your help.


P.S. Post 300!

You could just add spaces between the < >s and the rest of the tag...

You mean the < and the > tags?

I tried using them, and for some reason they just came out as < and >.

That's close to what I ended up doing. I put a few asteriks in strategic places and told my friend to just remove them. I didn't want to go with just spaces, since I was doing <a href>, and that needs the space.

You will need to replace all < > signs with the HTML entities that Cyborg Stan has done. If you are doing this on a message board and it is replacing them, it may be consuming and replacing the entities with their equivilant character in the database.
