How can I type a "<" or a ">" in my HTML paragraph?

Question

I want to write larger than or smaller than symbols inside my html paragraph, for example:

<p>
    15 > 13
</p>

I want the paragraph to show 15 > 13 but it's invalid syntax. How can I fix that? Thanks

Looking up escape characters will lead you in the right direction — doctorlove, Mar 11 '22 at 16:56

You use HTML entities.

<p>
    15 &gt; 13
</p>

> is > and < is <.

You can see a full list of available named character references. The general pattern is an ampersand, followed by some name, ended with a semicolon.
