Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Re: Adding new closing tag =?> for keeping trailing newline

Hi,

> https://www.reddit.com/r/PHP/comments/v5le6h/adding_new_closing_tag_for_keeping_trailing/

Thanks for proposing! this "feature" bothered me more than once...
Maybe just 2 days (of internals and Reddit feedback) is a bit early to
"give up" (but I won't blame you either).

FWIW, the Twig templating engine has distinct delimiters for output
({{ ... }}) and control ({% ... %}), and the former does *not* eat
newline; for the latter you can use ~%}
(https://twigfiddle.com/54daye), and there are other "whitespace
control" options
(https://twig.symfony.com/doc/3.x/templates.html#whitespace-control).

For PHP, if we could ignore BC, I would rather have ?> not eat
newline, and add an optional way to do it; but we can't, so I guess
the opposite (e.g. your =?>) is the best we could hope for.

Regards,
