Errors in the html cardlist was created by drnlmza
Several of the Crusade cards in the html cardlist hve been incorrectly converted, and thus don't display correctly.
The problematic cards include HTML likewhich is clearly bogus - it looks like some tag was incorrectly stripped from the text.
On closer inspection this seems to effect most cards that used to have clarifications in the old WW cardlist - see for example Aggressive Tactics, Dagon's Call, Game of Malkav or Gangrel Atavism.

This problem either wasn't fixed, or the fix has been reverted somehow.
Examples:
- many Crusades (e.g. Barcelona, Atlanta)
- Anathema's 'Requires a' text...
- half the text of superior Terror Frenzy.
My guess - without checking - is that where a ruling/clarification/errata got written into card text in angle brackets, the server is trying to turn that into a legal-looking HTML tag.

If you have any idea of what the use of angle / curly / double curly brackets was, please let me know. I think all changes to a card should use single curly brackets.

Errata: {foo}
Clarification: <bar>
Do you have an example of double-curly?
As an example, take this from the Wayback Machine archive of the White Wolf website:
web.archive.org/web/20070106115946/http://www.white-wolf.com/vtes/index.php?line=Cardlist_A
<non-Sterile> is a clarification, because the rules on Sterile already made it clear - but the card text was updated to be explicit.
{Abomination} was errata, because it was originally clanless (Abominations hadn't been invented in Final Nights).
Note the use of the errata indicators
(curly braces) instead of the clarification indicators (angle brackets).

Abomination [FN:R]
Cardtype: Action
Cost: 1 pool
Capacity: 4
Unique. Requires a ready <non-Sterile> vampire. +1 stealth action.
Burn an untapped werewolf ally (such as Renegade Garou, Werewolf Pack or Black Spiral Buddy) in your ready region to put this card in play. This card becomes a unique Independent {Abomination} vampire of 4 capacity with superior Protean [PRO]. You may move up to 4 blood from the acting vampire to this vampire. This vampire has +1 strength, gets an additional strike each round and gets an optional maneuver each combat. This vampire may attack any ready minion as aaction.

Hm, I got confused by the "={ ... }=" and then "-{ ...}-"
