You still haven't understood the principle of encoding "&".
The whole "webring" stuff is weird junk.
As I've often said, people who need to ask about such an elementary thing as
"how do I show HTML code visibly on my page" aren't competent to give others
advice on HTML coding, by showing HTML code that others should put on their
pages. The code you are promoting isn't still even syntactically correct -
you are telling people to use the undefined entity reference &body, and you
_still_ have unescaped "<" characters.
But to answer the question you asked, instead of the questions you should
have asked before you got started: Some people would say that • is more
mnemonic, and others remind that some old browsers don't understand it. You
can also "do the bullet" by inserting the bullet character as data,
naturally provided that the encoding of the document allows that.

This also tells that your knowledge of HTML is far too limited to make you
competent to tell others what they should put into their HTML code. There
was never any change in <pre> behavior in recognizing tags inside the
element; you are simply mistaken.
