HTML does not show "<" symbol

I have a TextField in HTML with the value 

<b> 1 > 0 and x <= 5 </b>

converting it to PDF with iReport it shows

<b> 1 > 0 and X = 5 </b>

so the "<" symbol is missing, what might be the problem? Is it a bug?

Solution

  • You shouldn't use the symbols. Use the correct entity name instead. Those symbols are reserved for the HTML code and not for the "normal" use.

    < = &lt;

    and

    > = &gt;

    Here you will find these entity names.
