I assume you are referring to the syntax in that article that looks like this:

<?php if(conditions): ?>
... HTML CODE ...
<?php endif; ?>

That’s called the Alternative Syntax for Control Structures. Unfortunately, that doesn’t really roll off one’s tongue very well.

The article also shows an example of the short open tag:

<?=$var?>
