Kay,

Angle brackets, AKA "<" (less than) and ">" (greater than), are special
characters in HTML. They are the delimeters for element names. In an HTML
document "<" and ">" need to be coded as "&lt;" (less than) and "&gt;"
(greater than).

I forget whether you can enter "<" and ">" in TMG sources and then have TMG
output them as "&lt;" and "&gt;" in HTML output.

Second Site converts "<<" or "<" to "&lt;" in source element values.
Similarly, it converts ">>" or ">" to "&gt;". Note that SS creates _one_
angle bracket for either input value.
