   3  What is Syntax CMS
   4  
   5  Syntax CMS simplifies publishing varied content to a site, creating and managing arbitrary relationships among content items, automates and accelerates custom development, and encourages reuse of site components with other Syntax CMS installations. It is built using PHP and MySql as its foundation.

  18   * Use the Collections and Filters API to query the database for matching objects without having to write SQL.
  19   * Customize the look and layout of any part of the site using PHP

  23  Syntax CMS has been used by Forum One Communications (http://www.forumone.com/) as an in-house solution for delivering dynamic, easy-to-manage websites for over two years. Parts of the project have always been Open Source, previously hosted on sourceforge, but this is the first release of the entire CMS package. During this time, the Syntax platform has been tested, refined, and used in production environments for various clients.
