Comparing changes: https://github.com/smarty-php/smarty/compare/v4.3.1...v4.4.1 It is noticeable that Smarty 4.3.1 does not officially support PHP 8.3. Is only supported with 4.4.0. Remark: During tests with Smarty 4.5.1, it was noticed that the following warning occurs: Deprecated: Using the unregistered function "function_exists" in a template is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Use Smarty::registerPlugin to explicitly register a custom modifier. As of Smarty 5.X.X, templates must be revised again. The Smarty release 5.0.2 is already officially available. However, integration into FlatPress is not entirely trivial.

Embedding Vars in Double Quotes
-
Smarty will recognize assigned variables embedded in "double quotes" so long as the variable name contains only numbers, letters and under_scores. See naming for more detail.
-
With any other characters, for example a period(.) or
$object->reference, then the variable must be surrounded by`backticks`. -
In addition, Smarty does allow embedded Smarty tags in double-quoted strings. This is useful if you want to include variables with modifiers, plugin or PHP function results.
Examples
{func var="test $foo test"} // sees $foo
{func var="test $foo_bar test"} // sees $foo_bar
{func var="test `$foo[0]` test"} // sees $foo[0]
{func var="test `$foo[bar]` test"} // sees $foo[bar]
{func var="test $foo.bar test"} // sees $foo (not $foo.bar)
{func var="test `$foo.bar` test"} // sees $foo.bar
{func var="test `$foo.bar` test"|escape} // modifiers outside quotes!
{func var="test {$foo|escape} test"} // modifiers inside quotes!
{func var="test {time()} test"} // PHP function result
{func var="test {counter} test"} // plugin result
{func var="variable foo is {if !$foo}not {/if} defined"} // Smarty block function
{* will replace $tpl_name with value *}
{include file="subdir/$tpl_name.tpl"}
{* does NOT replace $tpl_name *}
{include file='subdir/$tpl_name.tpl'} // vars require double quotes!
{* must have backticks as it contains a dot "." *}
{cycle values="one,two,`$smarty.config.myval`"}
{* must have backticks as it contains a dot "." *}
{include file="`$module.contact`.tpl"}
{* can use variable with dot syntax *}
{include file="`$module.$view`.tpl"}
Note
Although Smarty can handle some very complex expressions and syntax, it is a good rule of thumb to keep the template syntax minimal and focused on presentation. If you find your template syntax getting too complex, it may be a good idea to move the bits that do not deal explicitly with presentation to PHP by way of plugins or modifiers.
