Sorry for my english...
That braces are part of "embeeded control structures".
The point is to embeed control structures into HTML code instead of
embeed HTML code inside PHP code.
Your example translated to pure PHP code:
<?php
if(mosCountModules('right')) {
echo "<div id=\"mcontent\">";
echo "<div class=\"padding\">";
if(mosCountModules('top')) {
echo "<div id=\"newsflash\">";
echo "<div class=\"newsflash\">;
mosLoadModules ('top');
echo "</div></div>";
}
mosMainBody();
echo "</div></div>";
}else{
.........
?>
Is intended to avoid abuse of the "echo" sentence, etc.
