Paste HTML between <code><pre></pre></code> in Visual Studio 2013

Question

I am developing HTML lessons for a youth summer camp and I would like to copy HTML snippets from source view then paste them in design view between <code><pre></pre></code> and have Visual Studio 2013 automatically replace < > with < > accordingly.

I researched and found the article Paste Operations in the HTML Designer of Visual Web Developer and it indicates there is an additional option in the edit menu called paste alternative but as you can see in this screenshot, there is no such option. Is it possible to change a setting or something to add such an option?
