How can one ensure compatibility with future PHP versions when embedding PHP in HTML?

When embedding PHP in HTML, it is important to ensure compatibility with future PHP versions by using proper syntax and avoiding deprecated functions. One way to do this is by using PHP short tags <?= ?> instead of <?php ?>, as short tags are more widely supported across different PHP versions. 

&lt;!-- Before --&gt;
&lt;?php echo &quot;Hello, World!&quot;; ?&gt;

&lt;!-- After --&gt;
&lt;?= &quot;Hello, World!&quot;; ?&gt;
