Some various special constructions

$heredoc = <<< EOF
	this all is heredoc
	it should be considered as a string
	keywords like if else while return are not highlighted	
EOF;

# this is also a comment

// and this is a comment

$string = 'using a \' also makes a string';

// everything between php closing and open tags is ignored

?>
	PHP opening and closing tags are highlighted as directives 
	although everything is highlighted even though it is not actual PHP
	code, this is a limitation
	// incorrectly highlighted as comment
	
	to make text show verbatim nest is within another XML tag
	// like this part
	"correctly not highlighted as string"
