It works fine on my set, I use it quite often:
$announcements = <<<EndAnnouncements
<p><b><u><font face="$fontface" size="$fontsize"
color="$fontcolor">Announcements</u></b></p>
<!-- ANNOUNCMENTS GO HERE -->
<li>There is also a problem report section where you can submit any
problem you are having.<br>
<li>Soon, the timesheet will also be integrated into the portal, so you
will only need to log in once to access everything.</font>
<!-- END ANNOUNCEMENTS -->
EndAnnouncements;
Just have to make sure the EndAnnouncements; is on it's own line, at the
very first position.
$announcements = <<<TEST
1 1
Those are the only spaces, no spaces between <<< and TEST
Hope this helps,
Jake
