Pagination config file having no effect

Could it be a markup error? Surely it would be wiser to define your start tags like this:

Code:

$config['first_link'] = "<<";

It's also recommended you avoid short tags, as not al servers support it, although you can have CodeIgniter parse them for you.

EDIT: I think you've defined your first_link correctly, but the forum is converting it
