Heya,
it sounds like you might be dealing with HTML entity encoding or simple text rendering without respecting the HTML format.
Here’s what you can do to display the code correctly:
<pre>
and <code>
Tags: Use the <pre>
(preformatted text) and <code>
tags to preserve both whitespace and the formatting of the code.<table>
<tr>
<td><pre><code><div>Hello World!</div></code></pre></td>
</tr>
</table>
Escape HTML Characters: To show the code as-is, you need to convert special characters to their HTML entity equivalents. For example:
<
becomes <
>
becomes >
&
becomes &
This prevents the browser from interpreting them as actual HTML tags.If the above doesn’t help, can you share a bit more on how you are aproaching the problem, what do you want the end result to be and stuff like that so that I can further try to assist?
