hey all..
i am building a new simple website in basic html codes.
my website explains about how to build a websites in html codes.

now..
the hard question is
how to view the html codes as a sentences(explanations) and not consider them as codes to process.

for example..
page index.html will include the explaination below :

Hello people now we are starting the first thing to do
which to write the code <html>

-------------

now if i write the command <html> inside the html website it considers it as a code . i need to consider it as a normal typing,, as a sentence/word.

thanks.

You need to use command such as highlight to convert html code so that it can be displayed on screen.

Code:

highlight -i input.html -o output.html -S php

Another option is write code as follows inside <pre>..</pre> or <code>..</code> tags:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>This is a test</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is a test</h1>
Let us see how to create a html page:
<pre>
    &lt;html&gt;
    &lt;head&gt;
    &lt;title&gt;First HTML Page&lt;/title&gt;
    &lt;/head&gt;
    &lt;body&gt;
        &lt;h1>First HTML Page&lt;/h1&gt;

    &lt;/body&gt;
    &lt;/html&gt;
</pre>
</body>
</html>

I suggest following site for basic tutorials and as usual our forum will be help

You need to install hightlight command using apt-get or yum.

Wow, highlight sounds brilliant - not tried it yet, but the documentation page at GNU Source-highlight 2.10 makes it look very interesting - to think that I may have wasted so much time re-formatting my <pre> code...

Do you use any specific CMS software like Drupal or Wordpress? If so search for plugin / addon which does the same thing without using command line. Then there is famous GeSHi for php:

GeSHi aims to do this all as quickly as possible. Many customisable features of GeSHi facilitate speed increases, and you can easily find a balance between the amount of highlighting done and the speed in which it is done.

GeSHi supports PHP5 and Windows, and has even been used to highlight code on ASP pages. Numerous blogs, wikis and forums use GeSHi, including Dokuwiki, Mambo, phpBB and WikkaWiki.
