Like Jan said, your copy is fine. You might be able to view it
in the browser if you use file:/ or file:///, but that doesn't always
work. You might want to copy the source code example to another file,
using an editor.

The trouble is that HTML parsers can't deal with "<" or ">", even inside
<pre></pre> or <code></code>. The browser wants to interpret the "<"
symbol as part of an HTML command, so it swallows, or doesn't display,
the code that follows "<" until it sees a ">".

You can force "<" to be printed in HTML by using &lt; of course, but
then that code *really* won't compile.
