Putting HTML into a web page without the HTML code becoming active

sounds wierd i know but..

i created a "Link To Us" page for my website and on this page will be a bunch of banners and icons i made for my site that people can put onto there own pages and link the icons back to my site.

and what i wanna do is provide the HTML code for each banner and icon thats neccasary to make the images link back to my site because not everyone knows HTML.

but i dont know how to provide these examples to the users without the code itself activating

did i explain that right? lol

These should help.

Either use a textarea tag or use special characters. The charcters you should use is in the HTML entity list in the link.
