Displaying special characters and numbers in a Telerik Report Server table cell

[Toya]

I have designed a report in the standalone designer which needs to display numbers, letters and special characters (<,>) in table cells. It displays the letters and numbers but not the < or >. It shows &lt; rather than <. How can I format the cells to show all of the characters?

I resolved this by changing the sql stored procedure that returns the data set. It was not an issue in the designer.
