Displaying HTML in a div without getting translated?

[JazzcatCB]

Can anyone tell me how to display HTML code inside a div without it getting translated by the browser? I tried the <code> tag, but it didn't work. Any ideas? Thanks.

<pre>
</pre>

and
<code>
</code>

can be used, but you need to mask the < > signs with &lt; and &gt;


or you can use php htmlspecialchars() if that is available...

Thanks for the suggestion to use htmlspecialchars(). That's just what I needed. I am encountering one problem though: I put '\n' chars in my string, and either stripslashes() or htmlspecialchars() seems to be removing them. Do you know how I can prevent this from happening? Thanks a lot.

Use nl2br() first.
