-Alternate PHP Syntax for View Files
-###################################
-
-If you do not utilize CodeIgniter's :doc:`template
-engine <../libraries/parser>`, you'll be using pure PHP in your
-View files. To minimize the PHP code in these files, and to make it
-easier to identify the code blocks it is recommended that you use PHPs
-alternative syntax for control structures and short tag echo statements.
-If you are not familiar with this syntax, it allows you to eliminate the
-braces from your code, and eliminate "echo" statements.
-
-Alternative Echos
-=================
-
-Normally to echo, or print out a variable you would do this::
-
-	<?php echo $variable; ?>
-
-With the alternative syntax you can instead do it this way::
-
-	<?=$variable?>
-
-Alternative Control Structures
-==============================
-
-Controls structures, like if, for, foreach, and while can be written in
-a simplified format as well. Here is an example using ``foreach``::
-
-	<ul>
-
-	<?php foreach ($todo as $item): ?>
-
-		<li><?=$item?></li>
-
-	<?php endforeach; ?>
-
-	</ul>
-
-Notice that there are no braces. Instead, the end brace is replaced with
-``endforeach``. Each of the control structures listed above has a similar
-closing syntax: ``endif``, ``endfor``, ``endforeach``, and ``endwhile``
-
-Also notice that instead of using a semicolon after each structure
-(except the last one), there is a colon. This is important!
-
-Here is another example, using ``if``/``elseif``/``else``. Notice the colons::
-
-	<?php if ($username === 'sally'): ?>
-
-		<h3>Hi Sally</h3>
-
-	<?php elseif ($username === 'joe'): ?>
-
-		<h3>Hi Joe</h3>
-
-	<?php else: ?>
-
-		<h3>Hi unknown user</h3>
-
-	<?php endif; ?>
