The NEWS file in the source distribution had the following text:

    The internal class <Octave_map> has been deprecated in Octave 3.8
    and will be removed from Octave 3.12 (or whatever version is the
    second major release after 3.8).  Replacement classes are
    <octave_map> (struct array) or <octave_scalar_map> for a single
    structure.

When I converted this file to HTML (simply by surrounding the text in
<pre></pre> tags) I didn't notice the <...> text here.  It's fixed
now on the web site.
