49DESCRIPTION:
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.
