Display XML content in HTML page

How to display XML and other type of data in same page ?

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<catalog>
    <cd>
        <title>Empire Burlesque</title>
        <artist>Bob Dylan</artist>
        <country>USA</country>
        <country>Columbia</country>
        <price>10.90</price>
        <year>1985</year>
    </cd>
</catalog>

The above XML should be displayed as it is with formatting. Also , I would like to display HTML tables and other stuff in my page. How to achieve this ?

I do get XML in STRING not through file.
I do not want to parse it
I want to display (that's it)
If you say about XSLT ( please give example )
I'm thinking to use Jquery plugin ( any examples?)

Simple solution is to embed inside of a <textarea> element, which will preserve both the formatting and the angle brackets. I have also removed the border with style="border:none;" which makes the textarea invisible.

Here is a sample: http://jsfiddle.net/y9fqf/1/

You can use the old <xmp> tag. I don't know about browser support, but it should still work.

<HTML>

your code/tables

<xmp>
    <catalog>
        <cd>
            <title>Empire Burlesque</title>
            <artist>Bob Dylan</artist>
            <country>USA</country>
            <country>Columbia</country>
            <price>10.90</price>
            <year>1985</year>
        </cd>
    </catalog>
</xmp>

Output:

your code/tables
<catalog>
    <cd>
        <title>Empire Burlesque</title>
        <artist>Bob Dylan</artist>
        <country>USA</country>
        <country>Columbia</country>
        <price>10.90</price>
        <year>1985</year>
    </cd>
</catalog>

<pre lang="xml" >{{xmlString}}</pre>

This worked for me. Thanks to http://www.codeproject.com/Answers/998872/Display-XML-in-HTML-Div#answer1

If you treat the content as text, not HTML, then DOM operations should cause the data to be properly encoded. Here's how you'd do it in jQuery:

$('#container').text(xmlString);

Here's how you'd do it with standard DOM methods:

document.getElementById('container')
        .appendChild(document.createTextNode(xmlString));

If you're placing the XML inside of HTML through server-side scripting, there are bound to be encoding functions to allow you to do that (if you add what your server-side technology is, we can give you specific examples of how you'd do it).
