Re: [drools-user] Escape Character for <

Yah, really, this is just how XML works.  Nothing we can do to change  
it for readability.

Subject: [drools-user] Escape Character for <

Guys:

Just a general question about the denotation for less than operator.

The schema is such the one can not use the '<' char for reflecting the
operation.
One must use the escape character &lt; so the rule is correctly formed
document.

Are there in plans to change this for better readability?
