Hey,
this template does exactly what you want it to do...
are you looking at the result in a browser?
In a browser of course, a &lt; is shown as a <

cheers

Hello Expert,

In browser it does appearring, but when i look at the source it's appears as '<'.
It should appear as '&lt;' in source, so it will appear in browser '<'

Thanks,
Shailesh
