 <title>Embedding Vars in Double Quotes</title>
 <para>
  Smarty will recognize <link
  linkend="api.assign">assigned</link>
  <link   linkend="language.syntax.variables">variables</link>
  embedded in double quotes so long as
  the variables contain only numbers, letters, underscores and brackets [].
  With any other characters (period, object reference, etc.) the variable must
  be surrounded by backticks. You cannot embed
  <link linkend="language.modifiers">modifiers</link>,
  they must always be applied outside of quotes.

SYNTAX EXAMPLES:
{func var="test $foo test"}       <-- sees $foo
{func var="test $foo_bar test"}   <-- sees $foo_bar
{func var="test $foo[0] test"}    <-- sees $foo[0]
{func var="test $foo[bar] test"}  <-- sees $foo[bar]
{func var="test $foo.bar test"}   <-- sees $foo (not $foo.bar)
{func var="test `$foo.bar` test"} <-- sees $foo.bar
{func var="test `$foo.bar` test"|escape} <-- modifiers outside quotes!

PRACTICAL EXAMPLES:
{include file="subdir/$tpl_name.tpl"} <-- will replace $tpl_name with value
{cycle values="one,two,`$smarty.config.myval`"} <-- must have backticks
