htmlCodeFormat

Replaces special characters in a string with their HTML-escaped equivalents and inserts <pre> and </pre> tags at the beginning and end of the string.
The only difference between this function and HTMLEditFormat is that HTMLEditFormat doesn't surround the text in HTML pre tags.

htmlCodeFormat(string [, version]) → returns string
