You need to use the html entitites, use &gt; and &lt; instead of > and < to display the tags

what’s the & for slash code"

what it gave:
As a very common character, the slash (as “slant”) was originally encoded in ASCII with the decimal code 47 or 0x2F. The same value was used in Unicode, which calls it “solidus” and also adds some more characters: U+002F / SOLIDUS. U+2044 ⁄ FRACTION SLASH.
