Description

I find few code having shorted PHP tag <? ?> . Is there any way in the configuration if these tags get converted into whole long tag like <?php ?>? This is plugin has abrupt behavior for the shorter tags. Either blank ?> are appended to code since starting short tag is not parsed.

Second point whole the PHP code inside PHP tags remove the tab indent make it in the same line with PHP tag? Any configuration changes for that as well. THough tab-indent is enabled in .prettierrc.

Read the plugin's configuration and formatting documentation to determine whether these behaviors are supported. Done means the requested tag conversion and PHP indentation behavior are clearly specified and consistently handled or documented.
