no html?

[apropo]

posting to a kind of forum messages containing <tags> will make the
browser interpret them, is there any tag to make it take the source "as
is" ?

Not sure what you exactly mean but - in HTML some characters (the
character data) can't appear "as is" and they should be "escaped" -
these are < > & where they should be substituted with &lt; &gt;
&amp; . Double quotes in attribute values surrounded by double qutes
must be "escaped" further with &quot; .

For the rest, you might need to markup your specific source part as
preformatted text - the PRE element
