I was reseraching

Where in a html report is could have strings being displayed literally WITHOUT being processed / converted, e.g. say you wanted to document

is equal to

I was hoping there was a "from here to there" syntax which meant what text was in between was not interperted, even if it had etceta in it.

Thank in advance

excellent, thanks p.s. i had examples but they seem to have been goobled, as html did not like them.. – Greg B Roberts Oct 30 '13 at 11:24
Hmm i added
```
is equal to - pre sample 
```
is equal to - code sample the html was clear but the displayed text in visual studio and another html editor showed "is equal to - pre sample" "is equal to - code sample" So it seems that these tags do not always display the content.
