Angle bracket (<) without triggering html code

printing “<html>” using html

How can I put the < symbol literally into html text without invoking html stuffs.

The character “<” is the LESS THAN character. If you actually meant an angle bracket, then you can use U+2329 LEFT-POINTING ANGLE BRACKET “〈” or some similar character as such (with many caveats). — Jukka K. Korpela, Feb 02 '13 at 07:04

Use "<". Similarly, you can use ">" for >, or "&" for &.

These are called HTML "entities". You can learn more about them here
