 * How Can I get this to work in a template file, I am trying to add it via using
   do_shortcodes feature but it is not working.
 * <?php echo do_shortcode(“[tabs]”); ?>
    <?php echo do_shortcode(“[tab title=’First
   Tab’]”); ?>Content for tab one goes here.<?php echo do_shortcode(“[/tab]”); ?
   > <?php echo do_shortcode(“[tab title=’Second Tab’]”); ?>Content for tab two 
   goes here.<?php echo do_shortcode(“[/tab]”); ?> <?php echo do_shortcode(“[tab
   title=’Third Tab’]”); ?>Content for tab three goes here.<?php echo do_shortcode(“[/
   tab]”); ?> <?php echo do_shortcode(“[/tabs]”); ?>
 * Cheers

 * The `do_shortcode()` function needs the entire shortcode in a single call in 
   order to process it. More info about the do_shortcode function [here](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_shortcode).
 * Try putting the entire shortcode block into a single `do_shortcode()` call. Something
   like this should work:
 *     ```
       <?php $tab_content = '[tabs]';
       $tab_content .= '[tab title="First Tab"]Content for tab one goes here[/tab]';
       $tab_content .= '[tab title="Second Tab"]Content for tab two goes here[/tab]';
       $tab_content .= '[tab title="Third Tab"]Content for tab three goes here[/tab]';
       $tab_content .= '[/tabs]';
   
       echo do_shortcode($tab_content); ?>
       ```
