Hello everyone, I'd like to propose adding a new closing tag `=?>` to the language.
PHP currently removes the newline character immediately following the closing tag `?>`. With the new closing tag `=?>`, the code should look like this: ``` - <?= 1 =?> - <?= 2 =?> - <?= 3 =?> ``` and the results it produces would be: ``` - 1 - 2 - 3 ``` instead of the following: ``` - 1- 2- 3 ``` This addition requires only a one-line modification to the lexer and doesn't break BC. The proposed patch is here. https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/8708 Before writing an RFC, I would like to hear your input on whether it's worth tackling.
