But POV-SDL isn't normal language. It's mix of language and description so it
don't have to have "normal" _language_ scope rules. Again going back to
HTML/script example. Did you use php ? You can open HTML tag inside php
condition statement and close it outside. Something like:
    <?php if (a>3) { ?>
      <p align="left" style="color:#123456">
    <?php } else { ?>
      <p align="right">
    <?php } ?>
      important text
    </p>
is valid and php works like preprocesor for webserver. There are probably some
leyers in processing but they are invisible for both: surfer and designer. The
same is valid for other server-side scripts. So POV-SDL works typically for
such combinations - just  all-in-one.
