Bracket characters from external text files

Greetings :slight_smile:

I am just curious how one would get “<” and “>” to work if you use external say… .txt file for a textfield…

So say I put in my textfile

textfield= The cookies were great —> and so was the milk<br><br>Yes I love cookies.


The <br> is html, but the —> is not, yet it won’t show…

Same goes for other characters, such as “&”, ", ’

Any ideas what to dew? :slight_smile:
