+<h2>Syntax</h2>
+
+<p><div class="box">
+
+<dl>
+<dt><nobr>(&gt; <i>expr1 expr2</i> ...)</nobr></dt>
+<dd><i>exprN</i> - a numeric expression<br>
+returns - <a href="t.htm">&nbsp;T&nbsp;</a> if the results of
+comparing the expressions are all true,
+<a href="nil.htm">NIL</a> otherwise</dd>
+</dl>
+
+</div></p>
+
+<h2>Description</h2>
+
+<p>The <nobr>'&gt;' [greater-than]</nobr> function takes an arbitrary number
+of numeric arguments. <nobr>It checks</nobr> to see if all the numbers are
+monotonically decreasing. <a href="t.htm">&nbsp;T&nbsp;</a> is returned if
+the arguments are numerically, and monotonically decreasing,
+<a href="nil.htm">NIL</a> is returned otherwise. <nobr>For two</nobr>
+arguments, this has the effect of testing if 'expr1' is greater than
+'expr2'.</p>
+
+<h2>Examples</h2>
+
+<pre class="example">
+(&gt; 1 1) =&gt; NIL
+(&gt; 1 2) =&gt; NIL
+(&gt; 2.0 1.99) =&gt; T
+(&gt; 3 2 1) =&gt; T
+(&gt; 3 2 2) =&gt; NIL
+(&gt; "aa" "aa") =&gt; <font color="#AA0000">error: bad argument type</font>
+(setq a 12 b 99.9) =&gt; 99.9 <font color="#008844">; set up A and B with values</font>
