using see cref with < > characters in XML Documentation? [duplicate]

How to reference generic classes and methods in xml documentation

i have been using the see cref tag and it works great but now i need to include a generic list of string[] in the see cref but the documentation doesn't correctly render.

    /// <returns>A <see cref="List<string[]>" /> that .......

I presume its something to do with the < and > and maybe []

Is this allowed, is there a work around?

Thanks Pavel, but in the produced documentation it displays this A [!:List<System.String>] that - Notice the !:

Try List{String}. It works fine.
