c++ advertizer: expected primary-expression before ‘>’ token

edit

I have a script where there is a subscriber which is implemented like the following:

sub_setpoint_ = this->nh_->subscribe("controllerReference", 1,
    &CartesianImpedanceControllerROS<ROBOT, COMPENSATE_GRAVITY>::setpointCallback, this,
    ros::TransportHints().tcpNoDelay());

and I would like to also make a publisher inside it. What I tried was to write something rather similar to the above subscriber:

 pub_setpoint_status_   = this->nh_->advertise<std_msgs::String>("set_point_status", 1);

However, this gives me the error:

 error: expected primary-expression before ‘>’ token
       pub_setpoint_status_   = this->nh_->advertise<std_msgs::String>("set_point_status", 1);

which with my basic c++ experience is unclear what the problem might be. Does anyoone know what I should do?

msgs::String>("set_point_status", 1);
