Preserving HTML characters in plain text without using HTML entities

HTML-CSS
1

Hi,

For a project, I am making my own HTML and CSS coding reference web page which means I need to display a lot of HTML code as plain text. This will be laborious if I have to use HTML entities for every < > character. The 

 tags don’t overcome this.


Is there another way?


Thanks.
