+ <title>A Note on Line Feeds</title>
+ <para>
+ Line feeds have little meaning in HTML, however it is still a good idea
+ to make your HTML look nice and clean by putting line feeds in. A
+ linefeed that follows immediately after a closing
+ <literal>?></literal> will be removed by PHP. This can be extremely
+ useful when you are putting in many blocks of PHP or include files
+ containing PHP that aren't supposed to output anything. At the same time
+ it can be a bit confusing. You can put a space after the closing
+ <literal>?></literal> to force a space and a line feed to be output,
+ or you can put an explicit line feed in the last echo/print from within
+ your PHP block.
