In order to avoid the "<" symbol being interpreted as the start of an html
tag, you have to use the "entity reference" for the "<" symbol.

Here's a table of html references (from The Mosaic Handbook, O'Reilly)
&lt;   is for <
&gt;   is for >
&amp;    is for &
&quot;    is for "

there are also entities for e-with-an-accent on it, o-with-an-umlaut, etc.

Hope this helps,
Alan
