This is related to a bug mentioned a few days ago
(http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/KNL-66). It occurs when you have
the "<" character without a matching ">" character in your text.
(Which you may have if you are writing math equations or programming
examples) There is a problem parsing this type of input in some text
fields at the moment.

As a temporary workaround, if you need this symbol it looks like can
use the html &lt; and it will appear correctly. :/

Example:

IF A &lt; B THEN C = D
