 * I am building a site for a baseball tournament company and I will have for example
   a page for each team. I am building the site with gutenberg and a couple other
   extra plugins for it. I wanted to set up a team page template and then have certain
   variables and just call the template shortcode for each team’s page that way 
   if when I wanted to make updates to the look of the team page template I’d just
   have to change the shortcode code and it’d update all team’s pages.
 * My page with the original code shows fine. If I copy the code and paste it in
   a new page it works fine. But if I copy the code and paste it in a shortcode 
   and make a new page that only displays that shortcode there are a couple formatting
   issues that are arising.
 * Is there anyway to have the output of the shortcode be exactly as like it is 
   displaying when I paste the code into a page directly as to when I have a page
   display through a shortcode?
 * ***And just to point out, it is displaying 99% of everything correctly so it 
   for the most part is working as intended, it’s just a couple things throwing 
   it off like for example I have tabs and the tabs aren’t functioning correctly
   when clicked. And I’ve tried things like when I created the shortcode use the
   code editor as opposed to visual etc…
 * Am I just out of luck that HTML will render some things differently when it’s
   passed through the shortcoder? If so I am hoping to accomplish what I want with
   the WP All import plugin to make mass changes to pages.

 * Hi [@premierbaseballkc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/premierbaseballkc/),
   sorry for the delay. Shortcoder does not manipulate the code pasted. As per your
   explanation it looking there is some conflict in css/js in the page where the
   shortcide is pasted.
 * First, can you please view source and see if the exact shortcode content is printed?
 * Seconds check for any JS console errors. (please note that shortcoder does not
   manipulate anything so issue can be something else)
 * I can try to help you find any issue in your site though not related to shortcoder,
   but please check if there is any obvious errors.
 * Thanks,
    Aakash

 * Thank you for the response, you are very kind.
 * The more I looked into my issue, the more it was clear it was not a problem with
   the plugin but the issue was with the gutenberg tabs.
 * I scrapped my original idea and am building the site differently so I don’t use
   the tabs like I was originally planning, so I’m good now.
 * Thanks again for the response!
