    If you like, you can install pdoTools and use the Fenom parser, which is a lot closer to inline PHP code.
    https://github.com/fenom-template/fenom/blob/master/README.md

    {if $modx->user->isAuthenticated($modx->context->key)}
    <span class="comments-subscribe pull-right">
        <label for="comments-subscribe" class="checkbox">
            <input type="checkbox" name="" id="comments-subscribe" value="1" {$subscribed != '' ? 'checked' : ''} /> {$modx->lexicon('ticket_comment_notify')}
	    </label>
    </span>
{/if}

      This topic has been discussed elsewhere. And there, I opted for such a function.

      There is nothing sweeeter than having the ability/freedom to mix languages ... and don't know if it will be too much for MODX to allow raw PHP in content.
      Yes, yes, I know of the school of thought that supports 'separation of logic', 'security risks' etc ... but does not freedom, at least the modern notion of it, mean, license to shoot oneself.

      There are good reasons for that separation besides clean html-markup.
      One Reason to separate logic from content is,
      you don't want content-editors to be able to run any php-code, if they are not allowed to create/edit snippets.
      Only Developers are allowed todo so.

      pdoTools with Fenom - parser enabled does allow to run php, if one needs that really.

      [Edit]
      Didn't see Susan's comment about pdoTools and Fenom

        Very nice that this option exists with pdoTools, now that's what I call flexibility!,
        although my personal practice is to always use snippets

          Harden your MODX site by passwording your three main folders: core, manager, connectors and renaming your assets (thank me later!)

              A snippet is simply included into the MODX processing. The index.php starts MODX, and it includes all snippets and plugins like any .php file includes other .php files. So when using snippets and plugins, you have the full MODX API available - session is already started and database connection is already made.

              Seriously, you should go over the documentation here https://rtfm.modx.com/revolution/2.x/developing-in-modx/basic-development/snippets
