left angle bracket<causes an import error except as part of your markup Use the character entity &gt; or character code &#60
right angle bracket>

causes an import error. For example:

Error (-26) Omnimark Failed. See omni2512.log

Where, for example, the omni2512.log file reports:

ompxyom --

Markup Error (0140) on line 152 in file Markup Stream:

A character which is declared in the current concrete syntax to be non-SGML must not be used in the document unless entered using a character reference.

The character's character number is 60.

Use character code &#62;

Note that the error for right angle bracket is the same as for left angle bracket. It erronously reports the character code number as 60 however, it is indeed code number 62 as noted above.
