```go-html-template
{{ gt 1 1 }} → false
{{ gt 1 2 }} → false
{{ gt 2 1 }} → true

{{ gt 1 1 1 }} → false
{{ gt 1 1 2 }} → false
{{ gt 1 2 1 }} → false
{{ gt 1 2 2 }} → false

Use the `compare.Gt` function to compare other data types as well:

```go-html-template
{{ gt "ab" "a" }} → true
{{ gt time.Now (time.AsTime "1964-12-30") }} → true
{{ gt true false }} → true
```
