Just use \% as you would in LaTeX.
Similarly \$, \& and \# should be tried, if you get problems
with the un-escaped characters.

Note that \HTMLcode allows you to mix raw HTML with TeX source,
and can occur in the arguments of other TeX macros.
Hence macros *are* expanded, in both the HTML and TeX arguments.
This makes it difficult to state the expansion rules,
so when you have problems, just try out anything that seems sensible. 
Something *should* work.
