How to use "<" character inside attribute?

[Serguei]

Dear Experts,
I try to use a < character as a part of an attribute value in the
following way:
.........
<ConditionalStatement seqNumber="5" relationalOp="S<"/>
.........

If I try to use the Internet Explorer browser to show a file with this
line, it failed with the error message:

The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error
and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The character '<' cannot be used in an attribute value. Line 45,
Position 52


<ConditionalStatement seqNumber="5" relationalOp="S<"/>
---------------------------------------------------^

Is it possible to fix this problem?
Regards,
Serguei.

You need to use an entity reference to escape the <
relationalOp="S&lt;"
