HTML Parser: "<" is not allowed in a text node

[Foxandxss]

So in the past I could do:

{{ a < b ? a : b }}

Not anymore, it raises an issue on the : which makes me think that is all about b6ec238.

We need that on ng-bootstrap (lot of conditionals we have in there).

Check this plunker. If you put it on .46 it works.

Yes, this looks like a pretty severe regression, IMO we need to fix this one before beta.

@yjbanov could you take a look ?

Yep, I'll take a look.

Confirmed that this is not a bug in quoted expressions. This seems to be a bug in the new HTML parser. It seems to choke on the < operator (likely expecting a tag there). Here's a plunker showing that if you move < into a getter the conditional expression still works.

Yep definitely a Parser issue - the error msg is clear about that:

ORIGINAL EXCEPTION: Template parse errors:
Unexpected character "'" ("
    <div>{{val1 < val2 ? [ERROR ->]'Lower' : 'Greater'}}</div>
  "): MyApp@1:25
