Alias - Display <string> in description?

[highend01]

One of my aliases uses:
Dictionary - <string> | http://dict.leo.org/...?lp=ende&search=$$1 /ICON=icons\dictionary.ico

When I invoke it by entering e.g. "dic"
The description right from the icon states:
dict (Dictionary - )

So:
<string> is resolved to nothing

How do I escape it properly that <string> isn't resolved at all and I get instead:
dict (Dictionary - <string>)

You can use $$1 instead of <string> that will resolve to the string in the input field

Ah, sorry, the <string> is evaluated because it is recognised as an html tag. I had a similar problem when writing a plugin for FARR some years back. As I remember, you can use regular html codes. so &lt; instead of < should do it

Thanks but unfortunately html tags don't work either.

Dictionary - &lt;string&gt; | http://dict.leo.org/...?lp=ende&search=$$1 /ICON=icons\dictionary.ico

get's displayed without interpreting them:
dict (Dictionary - &lt;string&gt;)
