?>

		<dt> </dt>
		<dt><span class="newsdate"><?php echo $news[0]['date']; ?></span><?php echo $data[0]['title']; if(acc_status(getUsername()) > 2) echo '<a href="acp.php?edit='. $row['id'] .'"> [Edit]</a>'; ?></dt>
		<dd>
		<table width="100%"><tr>
		<td style="text-align: justify; vertical-align: top;"><?php echo stripslashes(shorten($row['content'], 150)); ?></td>
		<td style="padding-left: 1em; text-align: right; vertical-align: top;">
		<?php echo $img; ?>
		</td></tr></table>
		<div style="margin-top: 0.5em;"><a href="news/newsarticle.php?id=<?php echo $row['id']; ?>">Read more...</a></div>
		</dd> 

		<?php

 

or if it was actually in the PHP using echo instead?

I prefer that. If it's outside the PHP tags then the IDE can analyze the HTML (syntax highlighting, errors and warnings, autocomplete, etc).

 

Personally I'd even put that one you echo as HTML too.

</pre>
<dt> 2) { ?>
