RE: how to get < sign in output of an xslt

&lt; is equivalent to the < character in the logical model of an XML document 
(i.e. what you see in ie).  What output type are you using?  Try
<xsl:output method="text"/>

from the XSLT specification.

http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#section-Text-Output-Method
16.3 Text Output Method
The text output method outputs the result tree by outputting the string-value 
of every text node in the result tree in document order without any escaping.
