      In the database run update queries that insert at least a space before and after the brakets or greater smaller. For the answer options a query may look like:

      UPDATE question_answers
      SET answer = REPLACE(answer, '<', ' < ')
      WHERE answer LIKE '%$$%<%$$%'
      AND NOT answer LIKE '%$$% < %$$%'; 

      for the question text this may look like:

      UPDATE question
      SET questiontext =
      REPLACE(questiontext, '<', ' < ')
      WHERE questiontext LIKE '%$$%<%$$%'
      AND NOT questiontext LIKE '%$$% < %$$%'; 

      These queries fix such issues for < and only in questions and answer options. Tex can be used in many other places too and of course that doesnt fix all the possible issues.
