Add < to Html text to display in a browser

I want to create a tag:

   <div id="Id_Field" class="myclass"> <<Nack>> </div>

So the browser will display:

<<Nack>>

Is this possible?

<div id="Id_Field" class="myclass"> &lt;&lt;Nack&gt;&gt; </div>

The above ASCII code will convert to less-than and greater-than symbols when viewing in the browser.

Use the character reference &gt; to represent a < character as data (as opposed to the start of a tag).

Yes. Use the HTML entities: &gt; and &lt;.
