title: Right angle bracket in HTML
body: <p>For obvious reasons, the left angle bracket cannot be used literally in HTML text. The status of the right angle bracket is not quite so clear. It does work when I try it, but of course browsers are notoriously forgiving of constructs that are not strictly valid HTML.</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/charset.html#h-5.4" rel="noreferrer">http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/charset.html#h-5.4</a> seems to be saying it's valid, though may not be supported by older browsers, but also makes specific mention of quoted attribute values. <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7389867/is-it-necessary-to-html-encode-right-angle-brackets">Is it necessary to html encode right angle brackets?</a> also says it's valid but again specifically talks about quoted attribute values.</p>
  
  <p>What's the answer for plain chunks of text (contents of a <code>&lt;pre&gt;</code> Element happens to be the case I'm looking at), and does it differ in any way?</p>
