Both of the above are encoded as expected -- the ">" character is converted 
to "&gt;", and the "&" character in "&lt;" is converted to "&amp;". This is 
consistent and expected behavior. If you want to end up with "&lt;", then 
why not just start with "<"?

What is your ultimate goal? Do you not want the final HTML to include the 
"&gt;" and "&lt;" HTML entities so they display as ">" and "<" on the page?

Also, what do you mean by, "If I use the Field titles directly in a table 
on my own, they work as expected?" In each case, what do you want to 
display on the page, and what are you expecting in the raw HTML?
