And it is a pretty standard mechanism.

PHP use <?php ... ?> but other web template systems use
different syntax.

ASP use:
   <% ... %> for code snippets
   <%= ... %> for expressions

JSP use:
   <% ... %> for code snippets
   <%= ... %> for expressions
   <%! ... %> for type declarations
   <%@ ... %> for processor directives
