You need:

* to put these in <nowiki>..</nowiki>
* and escape all the "<" and probably ">" with "&lt;" and "&gt;".

Otherwise your browser will interpret the HTML it is send and do funky stuff 
like corrupting the text on edit etc.

if you just put valid HTMl code between <pre>, it will get interpreted by 
the browser. This is usefull if you want, f.i. red text inside pre, but 
useless for everything else.

best wishes,

tels
