#206 Greater than symbol not encoded in serialize

[Trevor Williams]

When a greater than symbol (>) is used within an attribute, it is not encoded into ">" when serialized. This causes an issue when the attribute is parsed in that any { or } symbols have the \ character inserted prior to them in the read string. If the > is encoded to the > character when serialized, the string is parsed and read without the escape character inserted.

The following patch fixes the problem:
