-Automatic Short Tag Support
-===========================
-
-.. note:: If you find that the syntax described in this page does not
-	work on your server it might be that "short tags" are disabled in your
-	PHP ini file. CodeIgniter will optionally rewrite short tags on-the-fly,
-	allowing you to use that syntax even if your server doesn't support it.
-	This feature can be enabled in your *config/config.php* file.
-
-Please note that if you do use this feature, if PHP errors are
-encountered in your **view files**, the error message and line number
-will not be accurately shown. Instead, all errors will be shown as
-``eval()`` errors.
