Receive code from input

Question

How do I treat input text as a string even if they are html tags?

Ex: if I type

<b>texto</b>

in an untreated input field it appears like this text, but I want it written anyway:

<b>texto</b>

In pure javascript you can do so:

texto.onkeyup = function() {
  
  resultado.textContent = this.value
    
}

<input type="text" id="texto">


<div id="resultado">
  
  
</div>

In jQuery:

$('#texto').keyup(function() {
  $('#resultado').text($(this).val());
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<input type="text" id="texto">

<div id="resultado"></div>
