Hello Philip,

As quoted from:

<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>

"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
inputenc package. See Fonts <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Fonts"><https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Fonts></a>
for more details on font encoding.

Alternatively, they can be printed with dedicated commands:

\textless
\textgreater"

I got exactly the same result as the OP, but this gave the angle
brackets to me immediately.

Using texlive 2012.20120611- on Debian SID.
Kind regards,

David Crosswell.
