# Plugin printing HTML characters instead of code?

 * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-printing-html-characters-instead-of-code/)
 * The following code:
 * `[shell]for i in data/*.total.*; do j=$(echo $i | sed 's#.*/##' | sed 's/\.[^.]*\.[
   ^.]*$//'); cat $i | sed '1d' | cut -f 1,2 --output-delim=. | sed "s/$/\t${j}/"
   >> merged/$j.SNPs.txt; sed '1d' data/$j.betas.fmqtl > merged/$j.betas.fmqtl; 
   paste merged/$j.SNPs.txt merged/$j.betas.fmqtl > merged/$j.betas.txt; done[/shell]`
 * Is rendered into this text on my site:
 * `for i in data/*.total.*; do j=$(echo $i | sed 's#.*/##' | sed 's/\.[^.]*\.[^.]*
   $//'); cat $i | sed '1d' | cut -f 1,2 --output-delim=. | sed "s/$/\t${j}/&
   quot; >> merged/$j.SNPs.txt; sed '1d' data/$j.betas.fmqtl > merged/$j.betas.fmqtl;
   paste merged/$j.SNPs.txt merged/$j.betas.fmqtl > merged/$j.betas.txt; done`
 * Note all of the instances of `"` and `%gt;`. Why is this happening?
