Angle Brackets

The angled bracket characters (usually used as less than and greater than signs) have a special meaning when the document is exported to XML.

If you want to use them in your document you have to prefix them with a tilde sign ( ~ ) to show that they are meant literally.

For example to say 'If x is greater than y' you would use:

If x > y

To say 'income is less than expenditure' you use:

income < expenditure.
