In the following XSL transformation how do I output the '<' and '>' symbol?

Input XML:

<TestResult bugnumber="3214" testname="display.methods::close->test_ManyInvoke" errortype="Failure"><ErrorMessage><![CDATA[calling close() method failed - expected:<2>]]></ErrorMessage>

XSLT:

<xsl:template match="TestResult">
  <xsl:variable name="errorMessage">
   <xsl:value-of select="ErrorMessage" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
  </xsl:variable>
  <Test name='{@testname}'>
   <TestResult>
    <Passed>false</Passed>
    <State>failure</State>
    <Metadata>
     <Entry name='bugnumber' value='{@bugnumber}' />
    </Metadata>
    <TestOutput>
     <Metadata>
      <Entry name='ErrorMessage' value='{$errorMessage}' />
     </Metadata>
    </TestOutput>
   </TestResult>
  </Test>
 </xsl:template>

Output XML:

<Test name="display.methods::close-&gttest_ManyInvoke"> 
 <TestResult>
  <Passed>false</Passed>
  <State>failure</State>
  <Metadata>
   <Entry name="bugnumber" value="3214"/>
  </Metadata>
  <TestOutput>
   <Metadata>
    <Entry name="ErrorMessage" value="calling close() method failed - expected:&lt;2&gt;"/>
   </Metadata>
  </TestOutput>
 </TestResult>
</Test>
