Use of Greater Than Symbol in XML

Question

Hi friends,

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.

> and < are not working for me.

Is there any special encoder for this?

Please help me.

Answer 1

Use > and < for 'greater-than' and 'less-than' respectively

Answer 2

You need the Character Entity References

< = &lt;

> = >

Answer 3

CDATA is a better general solution.

Answer 4

You can try to use Cdata to put all your symbole that doesn't work.

Exampple of something that will work in XML:

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

and of course you can use < and >
