TAKTEEK01 Theme – comment code appearing

Im having a problem with a code appearing on my comment area. I dont know how to remove it. or why its even there?. Ive searched the forums and found similar problems but the solutions dont work for me.

XHTML: You can use these tags: <abbr title=””> <acronym title=””> <b>

<cite> <del datetime=""> <i> <q cite=""> <strike>

comments.php:

<?php // Do not delete these lines
if (!empty($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) && 'comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']))
die ('Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!');

if (!empty($post->post_password)) { // if there's a password
if ($_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] != $post->post_password) { // and it doesn't match the cookie
?>

<p class="nocomments">This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.</p>

<?php
return;
}
}

/* This variable is for alternating comment background */
$oddcomment = 'class="alt" ';
?>

<!-- You can start editing here. -->

<?php if ($comments) : ?>
<h2 id="comments">There are <?php comments_number('No Comments', '1 Comments', '% Comments' );?> to this article</h2>

<div id="commentlist">

<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>

<div <?php echo $oddcomment; ?>id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
<div class="gravatar"><?php echo get_avatar( $comment, 48 ); ?></div>
<div><cite><?php comment_author_link() ?></cite> says:

<small><?php comment_date('M.d.Y') ?> <?php edit_comment_link('Edit Comment'); ?></small>

<?php if ($comment->comment_approved == '0') : ?>
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
<?php endif; ?>
<?php comment_text() ?>
</div>
</div>

<?php
/* Changes every other comment to a different class */
$oddcomment = ( empty( $oddcomment ) ) ? 'class="alt" ' : '';
?>

<?php endforeach; /* end for each comment */ ?>

</div>

<?php else : // this is displayed if there are no comments so far ?>

<?php if ('open' == $post->comment_status) : ?>
<!-- If comments are open, but there are no comments. -->

<?php else : // comments are closed ?>
<!-- If comments are closed. -->
<p class="nocomments"></p>

<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ('open' == $post->comment_status) : ?>

<h2 id="respond">Write a Comment</h2>

<?php if ( get_option('comment_registration') && !$user_ID ) : ?>
<p>You must be /wp-login.php?redirect_to=<?php echo urlencode(get_permalink()); ?>">logged in to post a comment.</p>
<?php else : ?>

<form action="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-comments-post.php" method="post" id="commentform">

<?php if ( $user_ID ) : ?>

<p>Logged in as /wp-admin/profile.php"><?php echo $user_identity; ?> (/wp-login.php?action=logout" title="Log out of this account">Log out)</p>

<?php else : ?>

<p><input type="text" name="author" id="author" value="<?php echo $comment_author; ?>" size="22" tabindex="1" />
<label for="author">Name <?php if ($req) echo "*"; ?></label></p>

<p><input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="<?php echo $comment_author_email; ?>" size="22" tabindex="2" />
<label for="email">E-Mail <?php if ($req) echo "*"; ?> (will not be shown)</label></p>

<p><input type="text" name="url" id="url" value="<?php echo $comment_author_url; ?>" size="22" tabindex="3" />
<label for="url">Website URL</label></p>

<?php endif; ?>

<p><small>XHTML: You can use these tags: <?php echo allowed_tags(); ?></small></p>

<p><textarea name="comment" id="commentbox" rows="" cols="" tabindex="4"></textarea></p>

<p><input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" tabindex="5" value="Submit Comment" />
<input type="hidden" name="comment_post_ID" value="<?php echo $id; ?>" />
</p>
<?php do_action('comment_form', $post->ID); ?>

</form>

<?php endif; // If registration required and not logged in ?>

<?php endif; // if you delete this the sky will fall on your head ?>

I recognize this as being in the error on the comment section, but not sure how to correct it :
<p><small>XHTML: You can use these tags: <?php echo allowed_tags(); ?></small></p>

Thank you for taking the time to look at this, It is much appreciated.
