How can I get Velocity to output a greater than / less than without escaping it?

I'm trying to get Velocity to output the following Javascript code:

if ((whichOne+1) <= numCallouts ) {
whichOne = whichOne + 1; } else {
whichOne = 1;
     }

Whenever I try to get Velocity to print a > or a <, it represents it as a & gt; or & lt;, which doesn't help me since I'm trying to get it to produce Javascript. I've tried:

#set ( $gt = ">" )

But even that ends up as a & gt;

Thanks in advance.
