If I'm explaining HTML to some one through a webpage and I want browser to show this "To create paragraph use <p> your paragraph </p>" which tag should I use before and after quoted text so that it is displayed as it is?

Answer 1

You would have to escape you opening brackets, so the html does not detect the tags, like so: "to create a paragraph use &lt;p> your paragraph &lt;/p>". The browser will automatically display < instead of &lt;

Answer 2

HTML Character Entities
