Because it IS a parameter binding. The parameter is "value". You're trying to bind a value to it. In your case, you're trying to bind the literal value << to it. But the default prefix for value for output raw is "prop", and you don't specify otherwise, so it assumes you've provided a property expression, and attempts to convert " << " to a property expression, and fails. I gave two possible solutions in my previous e-mail; Steve gave another (which I neglected to add before): prefix your value with "literal:" which will override the default binding type of "prop":
<teventlink t:id="firstpage"><t:outputraw value="literal: << "/> Also, why are you wrapping eventlink in an anchor? Event link will generate an anchor tag for you... <div style="font-size:10pt; text-align: center;"> <a t:type="eventlink" t:id="firstpage"><t:outputraw value="literal: << "/></a> The one thing that I don't recall offhand is whether the literal binding trims whitespace off the ends of the value; you'll have to check that.
