[Zope] HTML formatting overlooked

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to take advantage of the Random Content HOWTO
(http://www.zope.org:18200/Documentation/How-To/RandomContent) to generate
random quotes from famous scientists. I followed the directions carefully,
but apparently I screwed up somewhere. Here's what I did.
1. I created a new folder just under / called 'quotes'
2. I filled /quotes with three DTML Methods--each one contained one quote.
Here's an example:
<p><i>“The most incomprehensible
thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible.”</i><br><br>
—Albert Einstein</p>
That's the entire contents of the object.
3. In my index_html object (in a sub-folder), I put the following dtml
(according to the directions):
<td width="20%" rowspan=2><dtml-var
expr="_.whrandom.choice(quotes.objectValues())"></td>
Unfortunately, Zope renders the contents of the quote literally,
replacing, for example, all the < with <. The result can be seen at
http://206.131.108.122:8080/atlas/.
Why does this happen?
-Tim
