Re: Source code to display "as is" (help!!)

<pre> means preformatted. It does not mean "literal" nor "not parsed"
nor "plaintext" (none of these things really exist in HTML as
currently defined, nor can they. Don't get us started on CDATA.)

Though FWIW, earlier versions of HTML had XMP, LISTING and PLAINTEXT
elements (which all essentially did the same thing as each other). They
broke SGML rules, but will still somewhat work in modern browsers.

Of course, if you're thinking of using them, keep thinking.
