JDK-4206856 - improper handling for HTML special characters '<', '>', and '&'
Description
JDK1.2FCS-E build:

HTMLDocument api doc was not created properly because of wrong use of "<" and here is the comment section that caused this bug.

(HTMLDocument.java source code)
line 778   * Currently, <APPLET>, <PARAM>, <MAP>, <AREA>, <LINK>,
line 779   * <SCRIPT> and <STYLE> are unsupported.

Since javadoc tool decodes it as a html file "<" and ">" should be replaced with "&lt;" and "&gt;" each to represent as they are.
