  49 DESCRIPTION:
  50
  51     What is Smarty?
  52
  53     Smarty is a template engine for PHP. Many other template engines for PHP
  54     provide basic variable substitution and dynamic block functionality.
  55     Smarty takes a step further to be a "smart" template engine, adding
  56     features such as configuration files, template functions, and variable
  57     modifiers, and making all of this functionality as easy as possible to
  58     use for both programmers and template designers. Smarty also converts
  59     the templates into PHP scripts, eliminating the need to parse the
  60     templates on every invocation. This makes Smarty extremely scalable and
  61     manageable for large application needs.
  62
  63     Some of Smarty's features:
  64
  65     * it is extremely fast
  66     * no template parsing overhead, only compiles once.
  67         * it is smart about recompiling only the template files that have
  68           changed.
  69     * the template language is remarkably extensible via the plugin
  70       architecture.
  71     * configurable template delimiter tag syntax, so you can use
  72       {}, {{}}, <!--{}-->, or whatever you like.
  73     * built-in caching of template output.
  74     * arbitrary template sources (filesystem, databases, etc.)
  75     * template if/elseif/else/endif constructs are passed to the PHP parser,
  76       so the if syntax can be as simple or as complex as you like.
  77     * unlimited nesting of sections, conditionals, etc. allowed
  78     * it is possible to embed PHP code right in your template files,
  79       although not recommended and doubtfully needed since the engine
  80       is so customizable.
  81     * and many more.
