Ah!  My guess is that you have WikiWords enabled... DataPlates' tags 
look like
(:input form class=DQedit:)
(:table class=DQlist:)
(:table class=DQview:)
and the WikiWord markup is mistaking the class names for WikiWords and 
inserting additional markup right in the middle of the <form> or <table> 
HTML tags, breaking the tags, and ugliness ensues.

I have never used the WikiWords feature of PmWiki precisely because of 
such stupid behavior -- I can't get it to work reliably even without 
recipes, and so I've never tested it with DataPlates.

You have three options:
1) disable WikiWords in your config.php like so:
   $LinkWikiWords = 0;
2) manually edit the templates that DataPlates creates for you to remove 
the capital letters from the class names.
3) Edit the DataPlates and DataQuery recipes, find all occurrences of 
DQedit, DQlist, and DQview, and remove the capital letters.

I recommend you try #1 just to see if it solves the problem, then choose 
#2 or 3 if you're really attached to using WikiWords.

If #1 doesn't help, send me a link to your site and I'll take another 
look.  --Ben S.
