Answer 1

Not sure what your question is but in XML some characters cannot be placed in a CDATA section (the text you see in the body of the tags).

For example, to include a < it must be encoded as the "XML entity" <. Otherwise it could be confused for a tag. Other characters also need to be encoded. Therefore:

• < must be encoded as <.
• & must be encoded as &.
• > can be encoded as >. This is your case.
• ' (single quote) can be encoded as '.
• " (double quote) can be encoded as ".

This is expected since < and & are illegal in plain form in the body tags.
