</div>

Currently the options are

```php
<?php ... ?>

```

and

```php
<script language="php"> ... </script>

```

and if you enable it in ini file

```php
<? ... ?>

```

. I would like to know if there is any ways to change or add more of these options. For example

```php
<php> ... </php>

```
