Problem with Relation Symbols

Post by Bogdan_ »

Hello,

Just yesterday I started using LaTeX to write an article on economics. Although I have read in the lshort document I have a problem with the ">" sign. If I type ">" I get "¿" (an inverted question mark) and if I type "<" I get "¡" (an inverted exclamation mark).

Any help is appreciated!

Enable the right font encoding by the fontenc package. Add this line to your preamble.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
For details please refer to the package manual.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Thank you so much, Thorsten! It worked!

I busted my brains with it, I was sure it had something to do with a package. Writing papers in LaTeX can really make a student feel like an "experienced" economist :)


Best Regards!
