Now for a short word on what Smarty does NOT do. Smarty does not attempt to
completely separate logic from the templates. There is no problem with
logic in your templates under the condition that this logic is strictly for
presentation. A word of advice: keep application logic out of the
templates, and presentation logic out of the application. This will most
definately keep things manageable and scalable for the foreseeable future.
One design goal of Smarty is the separation of business logic and
presentation logic. This means templates can certainly contain logic under
the condition that it is for presentation only. Things such as including
other templates, altering table row colors, upper-casing a variable,
looping over an array of data and displaying it, etc. are all examples of
presentation logic. This does not mean that Smarty forces a separation of
business and presentation logic. Smarty has no knowledge of which is which,
so placing business logic in the template is your own doing. Also, if you
desire NO logic in your templates you certainly can do so by boiling the
content down to text and variables only.
