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 need the Character Entity References

< = &lt;

> = &gt;
