Nothing "fantasy" about this. I do it all the time and I reckon it is
a lot easier than trying to quote the html so it can go into a put
statement. So:

<?rev if x = 3 then ?>
    <h1>x = 3</h1>
<?rev else ?>
    <h2>x <> 3</h2>
<?rev end if ?>

is perfectly valid iRev code.
It can get a bit messy, but format as neatly as you can, indent and
add blank lines so that it stays readable.

Cheers,
