I think it is a feature of html-mode to convert >, < and & to their
html eqivalents a&lt; &gt; and &amp;. An enter is inserted, but
rendered as a space.

If you want to insert html code directly you better switch to xml-mode
(M-x xml-mode). Or split the window(Ctr-x 3) and have the file open
once in html-mode and once in xml-mode.
