  Description     : Template Engine for PHP

Although Smarty is known as a "Template Engine", it would be more accurately
described as a "Template/Presentation Framework." That is, it provides the
programmer and template designer with a wealth of tools to automate tasks
commonly dealt with at the presentation layer of an application. 

Here some of the more notable features of Smarty: 
- Caching
- Configuration Files
- Security
- Variable Modifiers
- Template Functions
- Filters
- Resources
- Plugins
- Debugging
- Compiling

The codebase of Smarty is larger than typical template engines available for
PHP, but at the same time it covers a much larger breadth of functionality.
Many of the tools that Smarty supplies would probably need to be programmed
into your application anyways.
