Re: [SMARTY] Parsing a string as template

It has and, in my case, I found it *much* easier to cache the string  
to a temporary template file and parse that. I found a resource for  
strings and, well, it didn't work well. What I propose sucks, but it  
was the only easy way I found to do what you're asking for.
