so this line is to create the temp file? Where is it being created?
Code:
htmlcode=$(mktemp -t htmlcode.XXXXXXXXXX)

and this is to forward the text into the temp file
Code:
echo "$text" >> $htmlcode

mktemp

MKTEMP(1)							   User Commands							 MKTEMP(1)

NAME

       mktemp - create a temporary file or directory

SYNOPSIS

       mktemp [OPTION]... [TEMPLATE]

DESCRIPTION

       Create a temporary file or directory, safely, and print its name.  If TEMPLATE is not specified, use tmp.XXXXXXXXXX.

       -d, --directory
	      create a directory, not a file

       -q, --quiet
	      suppress diagnostics about file/dir-creation failure

       -u, --dry-run
	      do not create anything; merely print a name (unsafe)

       --tmpdir[=DIR]
	      interpret TEMPLATE relative to DIR.  If DIR is not specified, use $TMPDIR if set, else /tmp.  With this option, TEMPLATE must not be
	      an absolute name.  Unlike with -t, TEMPLATE may contain slashes, but even here, mktemp still creates only the final component.

       -p DIR use DIR as a prefix; implies -t [deprecated]

       -t     interpret TEMPLATE as a single file name component, relative to a directory: $TMPDIR, if set; else the directory specified  via  -p;
	      else /tmp [deprecated]

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
	      output version information and exit
