The heredocs are a good practice, combining code from multiple languages using normal strings is almost always less readable than that. I try to use heredocs for anything multi-line

I should probably do it more often too, I usually stick with just using them for SQL 😬

In Lean I have one field which has a template in the PHP class — it works well for HTML too. VSCode recognizes the language, so all of the plugins like Tailwind CSS Intellisense work there.

protected function badgeTemplate(): Closure
{
    return fn (self $field) => <<<HTML
        <span class="
            inline-flex justify-center items-center px-3 py-0.5 text-sm font-almost-bold rounded-full
            bg-{$field->color()}-100 text-{$field->color()}-800 dark:bg-{$field->color()}-900 dark:text-{$field->color()}-50
        ">
            {$field->displayText()}
        </span>
    HTML;
}
