What are these <xen:***> tags?

[JJJ]

Maybe a stupid beginners question: In HTML templates, I often find terms like:

        <xen:foreach loop="$posts" value="$post">
            <xen:if is="{$post.message_state} == 'deleted'">
                <xen:include template="post_deleted_placeholder" />
            <xen:else />
                <xen:include template="post" />
            </xen:if>
        </xen:foreach>

This somehow looks like PHP code, but actually it isn't, because it is in <xen:***> tags.

Where can I learn more about this functionality? Is there a reference guide? Tutorials?

Thanks for any link, that helps to understand this.

It is XenForo syntax for use in HTML and CSS templates.

There is no user guide as such, just a matter of learning them as you go.

Thanks @Brogan

Does that mean, I simply could pack in valid PHP syntax?
