I'm finding some odd template behavior after importing articles from Wikipedia. Here's an example snippet from the John Lennon page - the infobox on the right side had what appear to be HTML tags visible, but when viewing the source code I see that < and > chars have been translated to < and > which explains why they show up looking like HTML, but doesn't explain how I get the software to not translate those chars:
John Lennon <tr style="text-align: center;"><td colspan="3">
The HTML source looks like this:
<big>John Lennon</big> <tr style="text-align: center;"><td colspan="3">
I think I have all the same extensions installed (I could be wrong though, I checked Special:Version page and they appear to match save for a few things that seem to not be available to the public) so I wonder why this happens. Anybody know? If it is a missing extension then which one? Or maybe it's a config setting?

The difference is probably that you don't have tidy enabled while wikipedia has. MW shouldn't give such different output if bewing tidied or not, but it's another matter.
