HTML Code messed up in PHP source code (a beginner question)

Hi... I am a new bie for XOOPS.
I want to develop a new module for my web site.

I have question regarding the codes in XOOPS (core ?).

Why you guys put such as echo '
' ; (drawing HTML code) in php. Is it better to separate between display (html template) with the code (*.php) ?

I use smarty for quite long time and I get used to make separate between php code (logic) with the display (html). In this way, I can do better coding while my web designer can do the page design without messing my code.

And can I separate between code and display, for my module, with the XOOPS ?



thx

It's better to separate the presentation from the content, as you described, and you can do that if you're writing a new module.

Some of the existing code doesn't do it correctly.

Where did you see the echo '
';?

P.S. An exception is the admin part of the module. It's possible to use Smarty templates for that, but the documentation doesn't really show you how.

I just wonder, why admin part modules didnt use Smarty ? Imho, I think smarty help so much for separating view (design) and logic(code). May be some of you have a good reason for this decision :)

ps: Where I can get the offline documentation of module development ? is there any ?

thx
