Re: [SMARTY] Parsing a string as template

I have another problem with "string as a template". I want to display a
tree - employees in company. I have an array with users, each user in
array has a "tree_level" (a number from 1 up).

There is one If, one Else If and one Else in my template. In each block
is the same smarty code
{$sub_users[su].name_first} {$sub_users[su].name_last}
({$sub_users[su].position})
and some markup - UL / LI tags.

I don't want to have the same code three times (open new level, same
level, close level).

What will you recommend me?
1] New block modifier
{tree}
{$user.name_first} {$user.name_last}, ({$user.position})
{/tree}
And parse content of this block with new smarty resource - string or

2] New smarty plugin (template designers will not be able to modify it's
output)
{tree->display}

3] ....?

I didn't have any problems with resources like $_SESSION or strings.

Thanks for any advice
