<title>Functions</title>
<para>
Each Smarty tag either prints a
<link linkend="language.variables">variable</link> or invokes some sort
of function. Functions are processed and displayed by enclosing the
function and its attributes into delimiters like so: {funcname
attr1="val" attr2="val"}.

<programlisting>
<![CDATA[
{config_load file="colors.conf"}
{include file="header.tpl"}
{if $highlight_name}
Welcome, <font color="{#fontColor#}">{$name}!</font>
{else}
Welcome, {$name}!
{/if}
{include file="footer.tpl"}
]]>
</programlisting>
</example>
<para>
Both built-in functions and custom functions have the same syntax in
the templates. Built-in functions are the inner workings of Smarty,
such as <link linkend="language.function.if"><command>if</command></link>, <link linkend="language.function.section"><command>section</command></link> and
<link linkend="language.function.strip"><command>strip</command></link>. They cannot be modified. Custom functions are
additional functions implemented via plugins. They can be modified to
your liking, or you can add new ones. <link linkend="language.function.html.options"><command>html_options</command></link> and
<link linkend="language.function.html.select.date"><command>html_select_date</command></link> are examples of custom functions.
