Huh?  The pure PHP approach via heredoc or plain old quoted 
syntax is the straight ahead way to go.  If you want the template 
separated from the logic, put it in an include file.

What's the room for error?  The editor changes the line endings from 
CRLF to LF or vice versa?  BFD.  All email programs can read either.  
Inadvertently indenting the heredoc's endpoint?  I've never had that 
happen in all my seven years of using PHP.

Template engines and languages are what's complex, finicky and add 
notable processing overhead.

This thread is talking about cutting butter with a chainsaw.
