I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (’).

I’m not sure what problem you are having. Parentheses inside a label should be no problem. When I put your code into code pen I see no unexpected character or no red error - though I’m not sure what you mean by “this text”.

Can you be more specific? Can you provide a link to your pen?

First thank you for the ```
and i just kept coding and now there is no more red or unexpected character, i didn t touch it i have no idea but it seems fine now

Can you link to the pen, please?

10

And did you type this into the pen yourself or did you cut and paste it from somewhere else, even if it was your work?

11

i taped it all on code pen directly, and like the other time it went away i think it s an issue of code pen but it no longer appears

Sorry, I don’t see anything wrong. I can’t help without seeing it myself.
