Answer 1

My guess is that you were changing the inner text to something which was one character shorter, and then overwriting the file in place instead of overwriting it with a brand new file. That would mean the extra > was left from the previous version of the file.

If you could show the code you're using to write the file, that would help a lot.

Do you get the same problem if you write to a new file?
