## Escaping
You may have noticed that the example template above renders the `$name` variable using
the [escape modifier](./designers/language-modifiers/language-modifier-escape.md). This
modifier makes string 'safe' to use in the context of an HTML page.
If you are primarily using Smarty for HTML-pages, it is recommended to enable automatic
escaping. This way, you don't have to add `|escape` to every variable you use on a web page.
Smarty will handle it automatically for you!
Enable auto-escaping for HTML as follows:
```php
$smarty->setEscapeHtml(true);
```
## Extended Setup
This is a continuation of the [basic installation](#installation), please read that first!
