You must use entity codes to write the special XHTML characters. Forum boards such as this have a PHP file that automatically transforms special characters into entities, but without it, you must manually type for example > every time you need to write >.I can't say anything about the scrollbars though.

boen_robot is right. I have done that many times and if you want to display <h1>header 1</h1>, then you'll have to write this in your HTML source:

<h1>header 1</h1>

< = <> = >That's it!

Will <code> </code> work?

See the source code of this page, and you'll see for yourself that it won't work. Entities are THE way to go.
