I didn't have a problem with < >. When I checked the different symbols using notpad ++ with Python language, the { } lit up the same way that ( ). So, I think the brackets may have some meaning in Python. The < > did not light up, so I used those.

I tried it on one of the ships that contains a name with the < >. It went from: implied Sam/Frodo=>Sam <Samwise Gamgee>/Frodo Baggins=>Frodo Baggins/Sam <Samwise Gamgee> with no problem. It doesn't seem like the &lt; is needed, but I could be wrong.

That would be great. I've always had trouble using the test dummy. I've mostly used it to find errors in my code that won't let it run rather than making sure that the output is correct. I would have to sort through the examples that are in the file already before I could figure out what I trying to test. There's been I few times I started writing replacement code for some of the examples in the test file. If I could input what I'd get from the actual site easily, it would be easier to figure out how to get the output I want.
