For nice source code use the XHTML template below:

1 : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
2 : <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
3 :	"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
4 : <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en">
5 : 	<head><title>XHTML Example</title></head>
6 :	<body><pre><code><![CDATA[
7 :		if(x < 0 || "<a>b" != y) ....
8 :	]]></code></pre></body>
9 : </html>

Some browsers require the file ending "xhtml" instead of "html".
