Why <code> & <pre> can't to display code html tags in output display

Question

(i.e) <pre> <img src="pic.jpg"/></pre> will display image, instead code, same result to <code>

Answer 1

You have to use HTML special characters for that.

<pre>
&lt;img src="myimg.jpg" /&gt;
</pre>

If you don't want to use that you can use <xmp> tag.

<xmp>
<img src="myimg.jpg" />
</xmp>
