With or Followed by

Hi, I have a question regarding grammatical correctness.

So I have sentence:

Following character combinations are not allowed: "<" with alphabetical character or "<" with "/".

Now, I think that is incorrect and this makes more sense:

Following character combinations are not allowed: "<" followed by alphabetical character or "/".

The rule which triggers this sentence is that in a sequence of characters, there cannot be a character "<" followed by any alphabetical character or /. In original warning message, they use "with" but that invokes that it triggers also when it's before "<" which is not true. Now, I'm not sure if this is just my subjective feeling and both are correct or is my version (using followed by instead of with) correct?

Do you mean this? A sequence of characters is not allowed if it includes "<" followed immediately by an alphabetical character, or "<" followed immediately by "/". Clive
