i am still stucked here

the quiz is to refactor and to put everything inside the function, but like this no function is called, what i should do?

shopping_list.py
def show_help():
    # print out instructions on how to use the app
    print("What should we pick up at the store?")
    print("""
Enter 'DONE' to stop adding items.
Enter 'HELP' for this help.
Enter 'SHOW' to see your current list.
""")

def show_list(shopping_list):
    # print out the list
    print("Here's your list:")

    for item in shopping_list:
        print(item)

def add_to_list(shopping_list, new_item):
    # add new items to our list
    shopping_list.append(new_item)
    print("Added {}. List now has {} items.".format(new_item, len(shopping_list)))
    return shopping_list
def main():    
    show_help()
    # make a list to hold onto our items
    shopping_list = []
    while True:
    # ask for new items
          new_item = input("> ")
    # be able to quit the app
          if new_item == 'DONE':
             break
        elif new_item == 'HELP':
            show_help()
            continue
        elif new_item == 'SHOW':
            show_list(shopping_list)
            continue
        add_to_list(shopping_list, new_item)
    show_list(shopping_list)

You still need to check your indents. Lines new_item = input("> ") and if new_item == 'DONE': do not line up with the elif below.

Also break does not line up with show_help()

As a habit, use the tab key, not the spacebar.
