[Mediawiki-l] Closing DIV tag not working in wiki portlet template

Hi wikimedia crew,

I'm a brand new member to this list, so please excuse in case I'm
asking the wrong quesiton for this list. I'll appreciate any help or
pointer to other resources.

My question:

I set up a mediawiki and want to use the templates box-header
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Box-header), box-header-square
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Box-header-square) and box-footer
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Box-footer) for building a wiki
portal page as described in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikiportal.

In the box-header-square template, a DIV container is opened and then
closed in the box-footer template to draw a border around the
"portlet" content. Unfortunately, the closing div tag in the
box-footer template is escaped to </div> in my portlet page so
it appears as text and keeps the border from being drawn correctly.

Any suggestions why the template doesn't work? I copied the templates
directly from wikipedia as linked above.

Any help is appreciated, thanks, Gerrit
