In the past, Dolibarr has experimented a template system like Smarty. If on the paper the idea was good, we quickly realized that finding a bug become a headache, coding become a treasure hunt, maintenance and development were done so slower (compared to previous situation where output templates are into the "View" section of each PHP file) that we forgot this idea. Pragmatism won.

There is a ton of other reasons to not use an external template system and all arguments to use them are also the best argument to use HTML/PHP as our template system. We just ask to keep separation between '''Controllers''' (the first section of PHP pages juste after the /* Action */ line), and the '''Views''', the second section after the /* View */ comment that is the presentation section build with PHP).
