==Introduction==
The Razor syntax is a template markup syntax, based on the CPHP# programming language, that enables the programmer to use an HTML construction workflow{{clarify|date=June 2013}}. Instead of using the ASP.NET .ASPX markup syntax with <code><%= %></code> symbols to indicate code blocks, Razor syntax starts code blocks with a @ character and does not require explicit closing of the code-block.
