I'm playing with some SVG and using the *SVGTool_SHOW_IN_VIEWER.* I notice
that when I attempt to set angle brackets in some text I get an error if I
try to display it in the viewer.

I don't do a lot of SVG so this may be well known already but is this an
issue with the 4D SVG viewer tool or something about text in VSG in general?

Here's an example of what I'm doing:

$text:="</>"
$fontSize:=80
$x:=25
$y:=10
$textWidth:=90
$font:="Helvetica"
$textHeight:=$fontSize+2

$svg_textArea:=SVG_New_textArea
($svgRef;$text;$x;$y;$textWidth;$textHeight;$font;$fontSize;0;Align center)


​I'm working on some code to generate file icons if you're wondering why
I'm trying to use such text.​

​That part all works fine. The error pops up when I put the $svgRef object
into the viewer tool. It only seems to be angle brackets. I tried escaping
them to no avail. I even tried rendering the text into a picture and then
setting the picture in the $svgRef object but the Viewer also barfed on
that.

Anyone have some insight?

Thanks​
