How to Create a HTML Tutorial Checkbox
When you write a HyperText Markup Language (HTML) tutorial about checkboxes or the markup in general, a challenge occurs when you try to display your work on the Web. The problem is browsers literally render the tag as a checkbox, rather than the code you want to publish. Fortunately, you have the option to use a workaround using HTML character entities.

Position your cursor before the code you want to display in the tutorial. Type "<" without the quotation marks in place of the first angle bracket and substitute ">" for the ending bracket. To illustrate:
<input type="checkbox" name="name term here" value="value term here" />
These HTML character entities represent the less than (<) and greater than (>) signs in the markup.
