What does \n\t do in php / html code?

I keep seeing \n\t by the html tags of my php code on one of my sites? What are they there for?

\n and \t are sort of shortcut tags usually found in C or C++ programs. PHP may have borrowed some of that, but it's NOT valid HTML code.

\n is usually a line feed in any language
\t is usually a tab

These character codes can be interpreted by browsers and are usually used to just make the source HTML look nicer/be easier to read.
