How to get html code to show on post

[Jan]

I wanted to show a simple html code on a post on my WP blog. Of course after I put it in the post and I saved it, the code was gone and the "translation" showed.

Under help it stated

Because HTML code depends on the less-than character (<) to render web pages, this character is reserved for HTML code. If you want a "<" to be visible on your site, you must encode it as "<" without the quotes.

Can anyone tell me how do I "encode"? Tried a couple things that didn't work.

Thank you!

basically what they said..
when you want to show a '<' you should write it as < if you want a '>' you need to write >
These are the HTML codes to display < and >
