You have the "alternative syntax" enabled. Go to the preferences and
change it back :)

(Unless there's a deeper booboo where it's turned on all the time, I don't

The alternative syntax can be enabled system wide (via the preferences) or
on a browser by browser basis (via the "provenence" menu). Think of the
alt syntax as a kind of pretty printing -- the options are the same.
