Re: Re: Adding new closing tag =?> for keeping trailing newline

> declare(ignore_newline_after_close_tag=false); Thanks for coming up with another idea! As others have already pointed out, disabling the closing tag from eating trailing newline throughout the file would be inconvenient if we want to use control statements in the template. However, we currently only have one closing tag, but we already have two opening tags. So, for example, if we use declare to disable the newline eating only when closing a PHP block started with `<?=', it can produce the desired output. <?php declare(ignore_newline_after_closing_short_tag=false) ?> <?php foreach ([1, 2, 3] as $item): ?> - <? = $item ?> <?php endforeach ?> I'm honestly not sure if adding a declare switch is better received than a new closing tag, though.
