Yes I dimly remember something like this. It probably was re-added to use \<guillemotleft>. According to the template, \usepackage[english]{babel} should already give you that.

In any case, the document wasn't built on a machine with French configuration (wouldn't make much sense for us anyway). Instead, the latex configuration of that machine didn't have latex language packages installed for *either* French or English. After installing both, the document builds as expected and should now be fixed on the web site.

If anyone spots another such case, please let me know.

Cheers,
