note 89300 added to language.basic-syntax.instruction-separation

"The closing tag for the block will include the immediately trailing newline if one is present." Ummm ... whatever happened to trying to *not* surprise the user? Is there even a rationale for swallowing the newline? After running into this "feature" this morning I tried to come up with a reason why the user might want to have the newline truncated, but I couldn't even invent one. What is the rationale? If it's a performance thing, it should probably be configurable and default to what the user expects (not swallowing the newline). ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.35 Probable Submitter: 166.70.235.92 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.instruction-separation.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/89300 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89300/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89300/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89300/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89300/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89300/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89300/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89300 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/89300 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
