title: echo php variable and html in Wordpress
body: <p>I am playing around with wordpress and wondering, why this line of code works:</p>
  
  <pre><code>echo "&lt;a href='....'&gt;$name&lt;/a&gt;";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I learned it this way:</p>
  
  <pre><code>echo "&lt;a href='....'&gt;".$name."&lt;/a&gt;";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there something special defined in WP to make this work?</p>
