List aggregation formatting problem

I'm a bit of a SharePoint beginner, so please forgive me if this is a very basic question.

I have a parent site with a number of identical team sites below it. The requirement is that each team site has an announcement list, and these are aggregated into a master view on the parent site.

I have had some success doing this, basically I created a new aspx page and added a data source to this containing the announcement lists from the subsites, then saved this by pushing it out as a web part to the site gallery.

The problem I have is that the body text of the announcement is surrounded by code. I thought the solution to this would be to set the 'disable-output-escaping' property to yes, but this is already set and i still have the problem.

Here is what the xsl looks like at the moment:

' 1 0

Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.
