Thread:Project:Support desk/span tag visible with Vorlage:Literatur

Hi I have started to use the template Vorlage:Literatur from de.wikipedia.org for my own wiki (http://www.muri-gries.ch/mediawiki) in order to simplify bibliographic references in footnotes.

With my current version of mediawiki a -Tag appears at the end of each reference:

http://www.muri-gries.ch/mediawiki/index.php/Walter

In the source I see that these two tags are written: &lt;/span&gt; instead of. If I copy the text and correct it the resulting html-file is displaid as expected in the Firefox.

If I make a test on de.wikipedia.org using the source-text of my article, everything is ok too.

Where is the mistake?

Mediawiki: 1.19.0 (newly installed hoping it would solve my problem :-)) PHP: 5.3.3-7+squeeze8 (apache2handler) MySQL: 5.1.49-3

Thank you               Beda
