Question

What does it mean when part of a file name is enclosed by these symbols < >?

Answer 1

it is html.  all html starts with &lt; and ends with &gt;. For example, &lt;br&gt; in html is new line.

Answer 2

tag

Answer 3

That all depends on the context.  If it is html code, it will have a different meaning than if it is an include line in C++ code - generally, it lets the compiler or parser know that what is between the symbols should be treated as a filename or path, as opposed to a string of characters (enclosed with &quot; &quot; )

Answer 4

how old are u u should now that

Answer 5

It can mean different things really, some people use it instead of brackets at time, for example &#039;my file &lt;archive 06-07&gt;.zip&#039;. generally people name files all sorts of weird and wonderful things.

I get people saying it&#039;s HTML, but if this is in the file name itself i suspect it isn&#039;t HTML (as that would be inside the file). Can give any more information, file type and things?
