How to write HTML code in your post

I had to put some HTML codes in one post of my BASH scripting blog.

<table border=1>
<tr>
<td>1 First field</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2 Second field</td>
</tr>
</table>

I was struggling as when I wrote the actual HTML code and submit the post, the HTML codes turned into the actual output of the code, but I wanted the raw html code to be displayed in the post. http://allblogtips.blogspot.com helped me in this ocassion, so thought of sharing the tip with my readers.

Change all the < with




and > with




(in Edit HTML mode)
