Just a correction, HTML is NOT how you format a page… you do it through CSS. Please make sure you correct that so people do not get confused.

in the grand scheme of things smarty just makes working with php variables in html content a little easier to understand if your are the designer. But is pointless if your the developer and designer as its just another level of time waste to achieve nothing you can’t do with raw php.
It can potentially also slow your applications down (even with caching) so i would not bother with it. only use it if your designer has no clue about php or you don’t want to give them access to the php parts.

smarty is retarded. i used it for a year at my job and it served absolutely no purpose. I later decided that php served no real purpose as well. Want a good template system? how about html and css. use javascript and a protocol to talk to an ajax server. server side template systems create are redundant as users demand more interactive javascript anyway and any change to the server side template must be changed in JS anyway..
