What's the HTML tag that doesn't process HTML inside of it?

Google fail, I used to know what it was years ago...

Basically would make <theTag><img src='cat.jpg'/></theTag> render as <img src='开发者_JS百科cat.jpg'/> rather than actually displaying the image...

The tag is <xmp>, but it's deprecated.

A better way to go is to replace < and > with < and >, respectively. Also, & with &, and you should be perfectly safe.

i think you are looking for the <xmp> tag but that is nowhere near valid HTML anymore :)

You’re probably talking about CDATA sections?

<![CDATA[<img src='cat.jpg'/>]]>

Be careful though, this doesn’t work very well in some browsers. Plus, I think it doesn’t exist in HTML, only in XML. It exists in HTML but browser support is not reliable. It’s better to just escape everything.

What about <pre>? As far as I understand it's made exactly for these cases.
