Text Wranger is a plain-text only editor, whereas TextEdit is a rich text editor by default (you can toggle plain text). This means that when you type HTML characters in to TextEdit, such as *<strong>Blah</strong>*, you're not getting true *<>* characters, but something like *<* (<) and *>* (>). So your template probably actually had something like *<strong>Blah</strong>* which is, of course, not an HTML tag. TextWrangler, on the other hand, doesn't do rich text at all, so what you see is what gets saved to the file.
