Elvis is a vi clone. This patch adds the angle brackets (<,>) to the matching mix. That is is if you do a `%' on a ``(){}[]'' in cursor mode then the cursor jumps to the matching bracket. Adding angle brackets is useful for ensuring matching angle brackets in C++ templates and for HTML tags. However, this can be annoying too, since angle brackets are also used for relational & shift operations. Therefore, it's a good idea to turn off automatic matching by placing 
 
	:set noshowmatch
in your $HOME/.exrc file. BTW this patch is freely available and distributable.
