 * On a page with pricing table there is a javascript error:
    `SyntaxError: expected
   expression, got '<'`
 * Plugin is upgraded to the latest version. Short of turning off all plugins how
   could I find out what is causing this? Edit: fixed, see bottom.
 * Problem seems to be caused by random p elements in the javascript.
 *     ```
                jQuery(document).ready(function($) {    </p>
       <p>          $('.ptp-plan').matchHeight(false); 
                 $('.ptp-cta').matchHeight(false); 
                 $('.ptp-price').matchHeight(false);
                 $('.ptp-button').matchHeight(false);</p>
       <p>          $('.ptp-bullet-item').each(function( index ){
                     $('.ptp-row-id-'+index).matchHeight(false);</p>
       <p>            });</p>
       <p>         });
             </script>
       ```
   
 * **I fixed this by removing all the whitespace in the javascript text string in
   design1.php file. You really shouldn’t include javascript like this.** See also:
