You can HTML escape tags as entities "&lt;html&gt;" and use pre tags for formatting.

To play an MP3 file via an embed tag you need a plugin that supports MP3 files like the Gecko Media player

What's wrong with the markup? '1.' is displayed instead of number sign

If you start a line with a hash (#) then you create a numbered list.

Make sure that you show the KB article for Linux (click the Editing Tools button)
