markdown - how do I display HTML?

I am trying to add a wiki page on GitHub that contains sample HTML but can't figure out how to display the actual HTML, not try to render it.

I tried & lt; & gt; and < < but then it renders it like

& lt;table& gt;

Tip: You can also display 'inline' HTML by adding a single backtick:

`<html>`

If you want display HTML as code sample. You can use formatting for code

Examples:

```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>This is a title</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>Hello world!</p>
  </body>
</html>
```

```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
</xs:schema>
```
