Description
monaco-editor version: 0.18.1
Steps or JS usage snippet reproducing the issue:
The following snippet doesn't get highlighted properly because the starting <?php token is missing, I think it should get highlighted better, like GitHub is doing, even though the current behavior is probably overall more correct, but kind of too strict.
public function index() {
$projects = Project::all();
return view('projects.index', compact('projects'));
}
