title: Is there a non-javascript/PHP way to write sample code that won't get evaluated?
body: <p>The <code>&lt;pre&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;code&gt;</code> tags are used for showing snippets of code and use a basic monospaced font and preserve all spacing, tabs, and line breaks. They still evaluate the code snippet, however, so that <code>&lt;div&gt;</code> has to be written as<code>&amp;lt;div&amp;gt;</code>, etc. Is there a simple and clean way to be able to present code snippets as they are written <em>without</em> needing to escape all the special characters? I tried searching for this question and couldn't find one, so forgive me if I still managed to somehow duplicate this question from elsewhere.</p>
  
  <p>I want to just set up some kind of tag block that lets me copy and paste whole blocks of code <em>as-is</em> without needing to escape out all the <code>&lt;'s</code> and <code>&gt;'s</code>, etc.</p>
