batch file write <> to text file

This is my first time doing these things. Basically I am creating a batch file html maker for church songs. This is what I am stuck with: ``` echo <br> %var17% >>Runfiles\temporary2.txt ``` Basically var 17 is a line of lyric and I want to add a line break in front of it. I have seperated the template maker into three parts: - first half - lyrics - second half Here is the code: ``` @echo off copy "I:\Build\Files\*.txt" ren *.txt temp.txt setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION set vidx=0 for /F "tokens=*" %%A in (temp.txt) do ( SET /A vidx=!vidx! + 1 set var!vidx!=%%A ) set var echo <br> %var17% >>Runfiles\temporary2.txt TYPE Runfiles\temp1.txt > run.html TYPE temp.txt >> run.html TYPE Runfiles\temp2.txt >> run.html pause ``` Temp 1 is the beginning and temp2 is the end, so I have a lyric document and I want to insert a `<br>` element in front of all of them. The reason is because I have somewhat 100 songs to process and it takes so long to do it manually.
