In the following example, < does not work, but > does. I am using 3.0b2. BTW, < doesn't work either.

<canvas width="100%" height="100%">
<button text="&lt;"/>
<button text="&gt;"/>
<simplelayout axis="x"/>
</canvas>

That's bizarre - it worked. Thanks, but it still seems like some kind of bug.

Well, the text fields supports a very simple subset of HTML, so if you stick a <b>foo</b> in there, you will get bold text, etc. If you stick a '<' it will look like an unclosed tag.

Maybe we should have an option to text

<text verbatim='true'> or something, to inhibit the
HTML display.

As long as it works - I don't think it's a big deal.
