trying to put html examples in a html page, but page reads it as html and renders it

[Natdizzle]

was hoping to find a html tag like <cody> where i could put html examples in and not have it rendered by the page.. any suggestons?

Well, I guess, the error lies in the tag itself - as there is no <cody> tag in HTML. What you can do to put up code in the HTML is use the <pre> tag which renders text as is (that means non-formatted). If you want to do it as they do on many blogs out there, you would have to use plugins and scripts instead (these would normally have a black background and the code would get displayed in mix of green and white - that is default setting for some and it can be changed).

okay <pre sounds like what im looking for > i guess what im going to do is put the html in a text editor and find and replace the brackets "," with the correcthtml embeded equailvelent.. i.e. &nbsp = "space" " " and will render

You have to encode your html entities.
Example:
< &#8230; &lt;
> &#8230; &gt;
& &#8230; &amp;
" &#8230; &quot;
