outputting < > with outputRaw

[Ken in Nashua]

Hi All,

I went with the symbols << but tap5 is not holding water for some reason.

location

    classpath:org/tynamo/examples/hibernatesecurity/components/Gallery.tml, 
line 50

...
    </td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td align="left" NOWRAP="nowrap" colspan="2">
        <div style="font-size:10pt; text-align: center;">
            <a> <t:eventLink t:id="FirstPage"/> <t:outputraw value=" &lt;&lt; 
"/> </a> 
...

last line is the culprit
Could not convert ' << ' into a component parameter binding: 
    Error parsing property expression ' << ': Unable to parse input at 
character position 2.

Why would tapestry think &lt;&lt; is a parameter binding ?

thanks in advance
