 C++, and the PHP-CPP library uses all the power offered by C++11 to convert the parameters and return
 values from your functions to/and from PHP:
 
-<code><pre>

 The function above is a native C++ function. With PHP-CPP you can export this function
 to PHP with only one single C++ method call:
 
-<code><pre>
+<pre>
 extension.function("hello_world", hello_world);
-</pre></code>

 Working with parameters and return values is just as easy:

- */

 int my_plus(int a, int b)

 However, this library is currently a work in progress, and it is an open
 source project. We are looking for people who'd like to contribute to it.
