Latex -smaller and greater than characters show up as inverted exclamation and question marks.

Question

Hello,

it seems that when using LaTeX "plus, minus, and equal sign may be used in either text or math mode, but < and > are math mode only (they produce inverted exclamation and question marks, respectively, in text mode)."

fine but if i have to show some C code in TeX and i place the code within the Verbatim - this problem still occurs making the code very hard to read.

please - what is the solution to this??

Thanks.

Hi, if you want to write &lt; or &gt; you have to add the package textcomp (\usepackage{textcomp}) and to write

\textgreater for &gt; and

\textless for &lt;.

That&#039;s ok? Bye!
