+  Smarty will recognize assigned variables 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 modifiers, they must always be
+  applied outside of quotes.

 PRACTICAL EXAMPLES:
