The trouble is that the < and > characters have a special
meaning to browsers. Sometimes they guess right and sometimes
not. The "right way" whenever using these characters, and
others like single and double quotes, is to use the "HTML
entity names" for the characters.
< is <
> is >
" is "
& is &
The complete list is here:

(The moin list is here, which shows examples:

Yes, this is lame. I just tried the latest version of the moin
wiki and it automatically takes care of this for you. So the
bug is fixed, but not for us.
On another note I think it'd be helpful if the SQL documented
linked to the relevant part of the official Postgresql docs.
For example, the above section would link to:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/functions-comparison.html
You could just do a "see more" at the bottom of each section.
The wiki markup is:
See the
[http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/functions-comparison.html
official documentation].
