That you can also *easily* use native PHP to mock up the forms/pages/nav
bar into an HTML file.  I'm trying to tell you that Smarty isn't the
_only_ way to do what you're proposing, as I thought just a few weeks ago.
 In fact, it's simple to use native PHP to do the same thing.

If you need to see an example to understand this, take a look at my post
with the three examples (PHP spaghetti code, Smarty template, PHP
template):

I thought Smarty was the ONLY way to separate business logic from
presentation, but I was wrong.  It's a great tool but it's not the
be-all-end-all I thought it was.
