Summary: less than sign not allowed in ${}
Initial Comment:
The < sign fails with the following error when inside
${} braces:
Error loading buildfile.
'<', hexadecimal value 0x3C, is an invalid
attribute character. Line 12, position 17.
This would not be that odd, except that the greater
than sign (>) does work.
Here is an example build script:
<project name="foo" default="bar">
<target name="bar">
<if test="${2 > 1} "> <!-- works -->
<echo message="ok" />
</if>
<if test="${1 < 2} "> <!-- works -->
<echo message="ok" />
</if>
<if test="${2 > 1} "> <!-- works -->
<echo message="ok" />
</if>
<if test="${1 < 2} "> <!-- fails -->
<echo message="ok" />
</if>
</target>
</project>
Shouldn't both < and > work or not work similarly?

Ok, I went to the xml spec and found my misconception. I
was under the impression that both < and > were not allowed
in xml attributes (with specific exceptions).
Only the < sign is not allowed and MUST be escaped as <
while the > sign MAY be escaped with > unless it appears
in "]]>" when it is not ending a CDATA block.
I was wondering how NAnt was allowing the > sign in the
first place :-)

The XML error says it all: the less than character is not
allowed in attributes.
