 * I am having difficulty with the below Javascript, where **<** is getting converted
   to HTML code when loading in the browser.
 * I’ve tried putting the code into a separate .js file, but it still isn’t working,
   I’m guessing because it’s outside the loop.
 *     ```
       <script>
       var acc = document.getElementsByClassName("accordion");
       var i;
   
       for (i = 0; i < acc.length; i++) {
           acc[i].onclick = function(){
               this.classList.toggle("active");
               this.nextElementSibling.classList.toggle("show");
         }
       }
       </script>
       ```

 * If you put this into a separate js file then you don’t need the <script> tag
 * You just load that file using a script tag in itself:
 * `<script src="myscripts.js"></script>`
 * Load it via functions.php:
 *     ```
       function wpb_adding_scripts() {
       wp_register_script('my-scripts', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/myscripts.js','','1.1', true);
       wp_enqueue_script('my-scripts');
       }
       add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpb_adding_scripts' ); 
       ```
