-   <title>What is Smarty?</title>
-   <para>
-	Smarty is a template engine for PHP. More specifically, it facilitates a
-	manageable way to separate application logic and content from its
-	presentation. This is best described in a situation where the application
-	programmer and the template designer play different roles, or in most cases
-	are not the same person. For example, let's say you are creating a web page
-	that is displaying a newspaper article. The article headline, tagline,
-	author and body are content elements, they contain no information about how
-	they will be presented. They are passed into Smarty by the application,
-	then the template designer edits the templates and uses a combination of
-	HTML tags and template tags to format the presentation of these elements
-	(HTML tables, background colors, font sizes, style sheets, etc.) One day
-	the programmer needs to change the way the article content is retrieved (a
-	change in application logic.) This change does not affect the template
-	designer, the content will still arrive in the template exactly the same.
-	Likewise, if the template designer wants to completely redesign the
-	templates, this requires no changes to the application logic. Therefore,
-	the programmer can make changes to the application logic without the need
-	to restructure templates, and the template designer can make changes to
-	templates without breaking application logic.
-	</para>
-	<para>
-    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.
-	</para>
-	<para>
-	One of the unique aspects about Smarty is the template compling. This means
-	Smarty reads the template files and creates PHP scripts from them. Once
-	they are created, they are executed from then on. Therefore there is no
-	costly template file parsing for each request, and each template can take

-   A slightly more flexible way to setup Smarty is to extend the class and

-   called "setup.php". In our example environment, "/php/includes" is in our
-   include_path. Be sure you set this up too, or use absolute file paths.
