In summary, a "Template Appearing Twice" is when a code template appears twice in a document or webpage, often due to coding errors or duplication. This can cause visual errors and impact the functionality of a website, and can be caused by accidental duplication, copy-pasting errors, or using templates from different sources. To fix it, the duplicated code should be removed and good coding practices should be followed to prevent it in the future.

I've recently been posting new threads on the homework forum, and when I preview my post it seems that a second template appears below everything I typed.

Not sure why it's happening, but I thought I'd let someone know.

Whoops, sorry, I was trying to find a thread or something with it but I guess I didn't look hard enough.
