Showing error: Unknown HTML tag

So i just started using Phpstorm and I am trying to 'correct' my code so there are no errors from the IDE. I have the following method below and all my xml tags are highlighted with the 'Unknown HTML tag'

What is the best way to correct this?

private function generate_qbxml_CustomerAddRq($requestID=0){
                /** requestID is used when multiple requests are called in order to match the request to the response.
                    requestID's should be incremented as they are called. Currently not implimented. **/

You can mark the string/var as a 'language injection':

1. Place the caret inside the string literal, tag, or attribute, in which you want to inject a language and press Alt+Enter (or use the intention action icon Intention action icon).
2. Select Inject language or reference and choose the language you want to inject.

The result looking like this:

$xmlString = /** @lang XML */
'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>';
