Maybe from RFC/coding_standards:
<qoute>
E: EXAMPLE PRINTOUTS
For short example printouts, use a C++ style comment
on the line where the output occurs, or the next line,
where it is needed:
echo $var; // outputs: 32
For longer example printouts use the screen
container in conjunction with <![CDATA[... ]]>:
....
</quote>
I guess this never got int the howto....
Hm, so this is the place I remember this thing from ;) It never got to the howto, because it is [still] an RFC. That whole coding standards stuff was said to go to the howto, if agreed on, but some had objections against it. Should we put this up to the agenda of the docmeeting, or ...?
