I'm not totally sure if this will answer your question..

But here it goes:

I would recommend putting the code in a .txt file, and linking to it. Mostly because .txt files are unformatted, they're small, and any computer regardless of the operating system should be able to open it.

Second, for viewing the layouts, maybe you should have a 'thumbnail' image that people can click on to view a larger image of the layout. You can easily make screenshots (in windows by pressing the 'prt scn' button (next to 'scroll lock'), then opening 'Paint' and either clicking paste, or pressing ctrl+v on your keyboard).

I hope that helps you out!

Use a text area code.

Then paste it onto your site and voila!

For them to preview the websites live, you will need more than HTML ... you will need javascript and possibly some other scripting as well.
