And what are the inputs and outputs now? It re-ordered some things, you can see the tested input in the comments. https://code.sololearn.com/Wyway1YkiG19/?ref=app

I think one problem is with the curly brackets {} here if (text[i] === "compile.Ele{") { var output = " <html>" } else if (text[i] === "}compile.Ele"){ They seem to be in a random position after .Ele in the first line and before compile. In the third line.

What is the expected input? What is the expected output? Please give examples. Why do you re-declare "output" in the if-statement? People are more likely to test your code if you put it in a script on sololearn playground. That way it is more readable and people can actually run it.
