No idea whether it's standard or not, but here's another way to do it. Go to my
webpage...
http://www.geocities.com/aliensrcooluk/testpages/charsetdisplay.html
... and then right-click and select view source. It allows all characters to be displayed
using a number instead (e.g. x). The page was written about 5 years ago back when
I was using my Sega Dreamcast to go online, so it may not work in other browsers (it
doesn't work in Firefox 2.0.0.20, but I think there's a glitch with the displaying
of tables in the last couple of updates, as they force me to use FF3).
Anyway < is the code for a < and > is the code for a >, but it's
easier to use &#lt; and &#rt; instead!

Are you asking how to get < and > rendered as displayed text?
Try:
...the <BOLD> tag will...
(I'm not sure how I know this, I can't find it in the html reference I
use;
which begs the question of whether it's actually part of the standard.)
