PHP open/close tags get spaces inserted when inside <script> blocks

[bmewburn]

Description

I'm using jsbeautify on mixed PHP/CSS/JS/HTML. PHP open/close tags inside script blocks get spaces inserted between the characters. I don't expect the PHP to be formatted itself, but is it possible for the tags to remain intact? It makes it easy to then find and replace with the original PHP content after formatting.

Input

The code looked like this before beautification:

<script>
var foo = <?php ?>;
var bar = <?= ?>;
</script>

Expected Output

The code should have looked like this after beautification:

<script>
    var foo = <?php ?>;
    var bar = <?= ?>;
</script>

Actual Output

The code actually looked like this after beautification:

<script>
    var foo = < ? php ? > ;
    var bar = < ? = ? > ;
</script>

Steps to Reproduce

var format = require('js-beautify');
var fs = require('fs');
var src = fs.readFileSync('./test.php').toString();
fs.writeFileSync('./formatted.php', format.html(src));

Environment

OS: Linux xps 4.9.0-9-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.168-1+deb9u3 (2019-06-16) x86_64 GNU/Linux

See #1647 . The area inside the script is considered javascript and processed as such.
If you have a suggestion as to how to improve the readme to make this more discoverable, I would appreciate a PR.

Thanks @bitwiseman I see it now in the changelog and readme.
