String Contains a Greater-than Sign

Question:
My app. name contains the char “> “:

myapp>name

Of course, this creates huge problems. How do I get past this in HTML, when displaying or referencing the app. name?

Answer:
If you want to print a greater-than sign, you can use an ampersand (&) followed by ‘gt;’. A less-than sign can be generated with an ampersand followed by ‘lt;’.
