In [[C++]] angle brackets (actually less-than and greater-than) are used to surround arguments to [[template (C++)|template]]s. They are also used to surround the names of [[header file#C/C++|header files]]; this usage was inherited from and is also found in [[C (programming language)|C]].

In the [[Z notation|Z]] [[formal specification]] language, angle brackets define a sequence.

In [[HTML]], angle brackets (actually 'greater than' and 'less than' symbols) are used to bracket meta text. For example {{tag|b|o}} denotes that the following text should be displayed as bold. Pairs of meta text tags are required – much as brackets themselves are usually in pairs. The end of the bold text segment would be indicated by {{tag|b|c}}. This use is sometimes extended as an informal mechanism for communicating mood or tone in digital formats such as messaging, for example adding "&lt;sighs&gt;" at the end of a sentence.
