So long as it's not likely to cause problems, I think `<?=3D $var =3D?>` =
is a bit easier to read than

- `<?=3D $var . PHP_EOL ?>`
- `<?=3D $var . "\n" ?>`
- `<?php echo $var . "\n" ?>`

It's of things that probably won't have strong supporters, but might be =
nice to have (I find some junior developers question why their HTML =
output can be a bit messy, not that it's really a problem, but it's =
there).
