# Duplicate Code issue – Please help

 * I installed this plugin and it works very nicely.
 * However I recently looked in code view and see that every single heading in all
   of my (very long) articles has duplicate span ID code. I have ruled out every
   possible cause, except this plugin (since it creates these classes for the ToC
   to work).
 * Here is an example:
 * <h3><span id=”Field”><span id=”Field”>Field</span></span></h3>
 * EVERY heading is like that!
 * 1. Have you seen this before? If so, how/why does it happen?
 * 2. How do I fix it without going through tons of code for tons of pages?
 * 3. If I uninstall the plugin, will it remove all span ID tags so I can install
   again and start fresh with all that duplicate code removed?
 * Grateful for some help, spent hours already on working out what caused this!
   
   Many thanks Mark

 * I would really appreciate an answer here, I have dirty code and want to clean
   up, and I was advised this plugin caused it! Thanks

 * Well it appears there’s next to no support for this plugin, which rings alarm
   bells for me. Time to uninstall. Never mind, was fun while it lasted.
