Here’s the problem: when you write your own HTML or you use a content management system like Wordpress (using the HTML editor) and you want to showcase HTML code or any other code within a post then you have to do two things:

use Character Entities to represent the less than (< ), greater than (>), forward-slash (/), back-slash (\) and ampisand (&) characters so that the represented characters are displayed rather than used to designate code tags; and

use the

 and  tags to instruct web browsers to display characters within their opening an closing tags in a monospace font i.e a font where each character has an equal width.
