Using "<" and ">" as normal text when using Markup with a Text Box

 Is there a way to display "<" and/or ">" as normal text in a Text Box.  For example, the script below gives an error, it is interpreting the < and > characters as parts of an HTML tag.  

names default to here(1);
string = "the value is <B> <<A></A></B><A>, but <I> > b </I>";

What I want to display in the text box is 

 

the value is <, but > b
