如何转义HTML元素，以便输入 <div> 在HTML文章中

Question

I'm doing an HTML write up for a colleague that is going to go on our intranet site, but I have to write the instructions in the HTML itself. I need to write the word <div> in the instructions, but I need to have it so the '' displays as the word , not an actual div.

Because I'm writing it directly inside the HTML, I need a way of somehow escaping the HTML, but keep the word and it's arrow brackets.

How do I go about doing this?

EXAMPLE

<p>This is some text followed by the word <div>, but not an actual div.</p>

Answer 1

Replace < with < and > with > Those are HTML Entities which can replace real tags. That way, it'll apear as <div> althought it isn't actually a div.

 <p>This is some text followed by the word &lt;div&gt;, but not an actual div.</p>
