How can I fix this? I would like to use the angle brackets.

Use \textless and \textgreater and you will get real angle brackets.

Hello Philip,<br>
<br>
As quoted from:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Special_Characters#Less_than_.3C_and_greater_than_.3E">https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Special_Characters#Less_than_.3C_and_greater_than_.3E</a><br>
<br>
<p>"The two symbols '<' and '>' are actually ASCII characters,
but you may have noticed that they will print '¡' and '¿'
respectively. This is a font encoding issue. If you want them to
print their real symbol, you will have to use another font
encoding such as T1, loaded with the <span style="font-family:
monospace; color: #2020C0; font-weight: normal;">inputenc</span>
package. See <a href="https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Fonts"
title="LaTeX/Fonts">Fonts</a> for more details on font encoding.</p>
<p>Alternatively, they can be printed with dedicated commands:</p>
<p><span class="mw-geshi latex source-latex"><span class="re12">\textless</span><br>
<span class="re12">\textgreater"<br>
</span></span></p>
<p><span class="mw-geshi latex source-latex"><span class="re12">I
got exactly the same result as the OP, but this gave the angle
brackets to me immediately.</span></span></p>
