Oh thanx.
Is there another way to view long HTML code as text?
Without having to replace the character after the character?

Didn’t you use it in your question?
<code>HTML code or PHP code or JS code...</code>

<code> </code> does not stop rendering HTML code in web browser.
I tried.

I see. I was thinking that the < and > characters got converted, but they do not.
Well, the editor keeps it when I use <xmp>, so it might be that your user does not have unfiltered_html capability, or that the filters have changed since version WP 4.7.11 (which is what my test site is running).
Edit: But you really should not use deprecated HTML tags. There does not seem to be an equivalent, because <pre> and <code> still interpret the HTML, so you have to change all the characters yourself. It might be better for you to use a syntax highlighter plugin.
