Highlight PHP code in HTML with code tag - bug?

Question

I'm using highlight.js to highlight the following code:

<pre><code class="hljs php">
echo '<table border="1">';
echo '<tr>';
    foreach ($keys as &$k)
    {
    echo '<th>'.$k.'</th>';
    }
 echo '</tr>';
echo '</table>'
</code></pre>

AAAnd all the table tags are rendered by the browser and not displayed as clear text... see for yourself(jsfiddle without highlight.js)

Is it me oris there something wrong with the code tags? Any Ideas? Thank you

the only thing wrong here is your misunderstanding of the code tag. — Kaii

Your tags:

<pre><code bla bla> must end </pre></code>

Final

<pre><code bla bla> must end </code></pre>

EDIT: Answer in the comments:

<pre>
    <code class="hljs php">
        &lt;table&gt;
            &lt;tr&gt;
                &lt;th&gt;1&lt;/th&gt;
                &lt;th&gt;2&lt;/th&gt;
                &lt;th&gt;3&lt;/th&gt;
                &lt;th&gt;4&lt;/th&gt;
                &lt;th&gt;5&lt;/th&gt;
            &lt;/tr&gt;
        &lt;/table&gt;
    </code>
</pre>

Its nessecsary to HTML Escape the '<' and the '>'. This can be achieved with this php Function

Ok you have to change the '<' and '>' chars to his corresponding html code: jsfiddle.net/olliestrevel/dL7e41q6

Thank you very much!! But shouldn't the code tag "deactivate" the (also html)code inside?

The code tag just highlight the text into the html tags inside, the mark up render normally

Why not just use the HTML5 tag ?

<mark>Text here</mark>

Don't mark everything. Just the part you want marked.
