+You can apply any number of modifiers to a variable. They will be
+applied in the order they are combined, from left to right. They must be
+separated with a `|` (pipe) character.
 
-- Custom modifiers can be registered
-    with the [`registerPlugin()`](../../programmers/api-functions/api-register-plugin.md)
-    function.

+
+```smarty

+{$articleTitle|lower|spacify|truncate}
+{$articleTitle|lower|truncate:30|spacify}
+{$articleTitle|lower|spacify|truncate:30:". . ."}
+```
+
+
+The above example will output:

+s m o k e r s   a r e   p. . .
+```
+
+## Using modifiers in expressions
+
+Modifiers can also be used in expressions. For example, you can use the [isset modifier](./language-modifier-isset.md)
+to test if a variable holds a value different from null.
+
+```smarty
+{if $varA|isset}
+    <b>variable A is set</b>
+{/if}
+```
+
+You can also use modifiers in expressions in a PHP-style syntax:
+
+```smarty
+{if isset($varA)}
+    <b>variable A is set</b>
+{/if}
+```
