Hi! newbie here ..

I am trying to create a Visualforce Registration Page . But Iam getting Error: RegistrationPage line 8, column 9: The value of attribute "value" associated with an element type "apex:inputText" must not contain the '<' character. 

I created a registration sObject with all fields in VF page . When the Submit button is clicked , the registration information should be saved to the Registration sObject.

VF Page
<apex:page Controller="NewRegistration">  sidebar="false"   showHeader= "false"
<apex:form >
<apex:pageBlock id="pg1" >
  <apex:pageMessages  />
    <apex:pageBlockSection  columns="1">
     <apex:repeat> var=Re value="{!reg}"   </apex:repeat>
        <apex:inputText label="Name" value="{!re.name"}/>
       < apex:inputText label="Username" value="{!re.username__c}" />
        <apex:inputText label="Password" value="{!re.password__c}"/>
        <apex:inputText label="Confirm Password" value="{!re.confirm_password__c}"/>
        <apex:inputText label="Security Question" value="{!re.security_question__c}"/>
        <apex:inputText label="Security Answer" value="{!re.security_answer__c}"/>       
    </apex:pageBlockSection>
    <apex:pageBlockButtons>       
          <apex:commandButton value="Submit" action="!saveAction" reRender="pg1" />
    </apex:pageBlockButtons>
    
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>
</apex:page>




Controller Class
public class NewRegistration {

  Public Registration__c  reg {get ; set;}
 
  public NewRegistration(){
         reg = new Registration__c ();
     }    
     
    public void saveAction(){
      system.debug ('saveAction inside' +reg);  
       
        insert reg;
        if (reg.name !=null) {        
        Apexpages.addMessage(new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.SEVERITY.INFO,'Registration Saved Successfully'));
     }
     
}
}
