I can't see why you're using disable-output-escaping. This is for use when
you want special characters such as "<" in text to be interpreted as markup,
the default action is to treat them as character data, which is what you
want.

Telling us what your browser shows isn't very useful; it's the generated
HTML that's interesting. I suspect the generated HTML is "<&>" and the
browser is trying its best to make sense of it, which it isn't doing very
successfully. What you want to generate is "&lt;&amp;&gt;"
