That code is kinda messed up. Did you copy that from a rich text document (like Word or OpenOffice)? You have to replace all occurrences of &lt; with <, all occurrences of &gt; with >, and all occurrences of &quot; and all “smart quotes” (”) with straight quotes ("), then it will work.

It's standard XHTML 1.0 but it looks to have been passed through some type of filter to convert all the less than's and greater than's; <,>, to their html entities. Passing it through the html_entity_decode funtion in PHP should clear it up. If you don't know how let me know and I can throw something together for you.

Edit:
It was double encoded which is why your browser can't render it, the html entity for < is <, and someone ran the encoded page through a second time encoding all the ampersands to & making it even more convoluted. http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/entities/special.html
