 CI4 Best Practice for Echo Shortcut Tag |

Preface: According to PHP, as of version 5.4 `<?=` is always available regardless of the value of `short_open_tags`, so comments regarding compatibility are irrelevant.
Does CodeIgniter have a best practice for the use of the Echo Shortcut Tag (e.g., `<?= $foo ?>`) vs echo notation (e.g., `<?php echo $foo; ?>`)? - PSR-1 just states that tags should be limited to `<?php` or `<?=`. - PHP states that using a semi-colon in the short echo tag is redundant. - PSR-2 and PSR-12 don't mention the tag. - Ryan Seachrest's style guide says that the echo shortcut tag should be used when possible. - Wordpress style guide says no. - CakePHP style guide says yes. - I can't find anything from CodeIgniter saying that one should be used over the other.
Don't worry. CodeIgniter loves your choice.
But the User Guide uses <?= $foo ?> style. See https://codeigniter4.github.io/CodeIgnit...ting-loops
Our coding standard uses the short echo style whenever possible.
