If this helps out with the package selection, this is what I am
currently using in the preamble:<br>
<br>
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}<br>
\usepackage{microtype}<br>
\newcommand{\head}[1]{\textnormal{\textbf{#1}}}<br>
\usepackage{fancyhdr}<br>
\lhead{David Crosswell}<br>
\chead{} <br>
\rhead{\today}<br>
\lfoot{} <br>
\cfoot{\thepage} <br>
\rfoot{}<br>
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.4pt}<br>
\pagestyle{fancy}<br>
\pagenumbering{Roman}<br>
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}<br>
\usepackage{hyperref}<br>
\usepackage{amsmath}<br>
\usepackage{amsfonts}<br>
\usepackage{amssymb}<br>
\usepackage[table]{xcolor}<br>
\usepackage{graphicx}<br>
\usepackage{palatino}<br>
\usepackage[left=2.5cm,right=2.5cm,top=2cm,bottom=2cm]{geometry}<br>
\begin{document}<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>

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

<pre wrap="">Use \textless and \textgreater and you will get real angle brackets.

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.
