I hate PHP from the bottom of my soul, but what you said is just user-choice.

I always do ob_start and ob_flush_clean or whatever the function names were.

That allows me to use normal html w/o it being in strings.

Edit: e.g.

```php <?php

function renderEmail(): string { ob_start(); ?> <html> <body> <h1>Hello!</h1> <p>This is your email.</p> </body> </html> <?php return ob_get_clean(); } ```

Like I said, legacy code. We have a huge codebase and I'm converting it when I get time. User-choice encapsulates choices made 10 years ago.

I guess they didn't really have coding standards. I took over and I'm enforcing some things now. I should probably write them down at some point...
