This is a very tricky and misleading error. It will not appear if you
just view the page as normal HTML.

The line in the file you're getting an error on is:

 [% IF news.tmp_security_level >= security_level.write %]

You see it reported back to you in the browser as:

 [% IF news.tmp_security_level >= security_level.write %]

which is absolutely fine.

The problem is that this page contains samples of TT code, which are
in turn getting interpreted by TT. 

This points to a larger problem, so what I'll do is create a new tag
for static pages that tells OI NOT to run this through TT but just to
return the content. This is similar to how you can specify boxes to
use on the page using <boxes>box1, box2</boxes>.

This is pretty easy so it will be in the next release, any day now. In
the meantime, just open the file directly in your browser rather than
going through OpenInteract.

Thanks!

Chris
