I'm trying to put together a little page with a form, so that users can 
"translate" any URL into the correct format for posting on a forum.

For instance, they want to share a link and type in "www.google.com" 
(without quotes) and the form turns it into "<a href="www.google.com"></a>" 
(without the beginning and end quotes) and displays that as text, so that 
they can copy/paste it into the forum post box. It will also include an 
image-posting version so that it adds the "<img src" etc to an image URL.

How do I "quote" the result so that it displays as plain text rather than a 
mess? All I'm getting is a mess of blue code.
