Use of Greater Than Symbol in XML

I had created the xml document with xml version="1.0".

In that document I need to use the greater than symbol > and less than symbol <.

How should I include those symbols? It's not working.

&gt; and &lt; are not working for me.

Is there any special encoder for this?

You can try to use CDATA to put all your symbols that don't work.

An example of something that will work in XML:

<![CDATA[
function matchwo(a,b) {
    if (a < b && a < 0) {
        return 1;
   } else {
       return 0;
   }
}
]]>

And of course you can use &lt; and &gt;.

You need the Character Entity References

< = &lt;

> = &gt;

Use &gt; and &lt; for 'greater-than' and 'less-than' respectively
