Known restrictions

Currently, the following features of Smarty 3 are not implemented:

• Ternary operator ({$a ? $b : $c})
• Line-breaks within modifiers
• nocache pseudo attribute ({$var nocache})
• Method calls with parentheses ($smarty->clearAllCache())
• Object property accesstor ->
• Object method chaining ({$object->method1($x)->method2($y)})
• Opening and closing {strip} everywhere

The rules have a high understanding of the structure of the document, or with other words, they are very restrictive. This means, if you close a block (e.g. {/if}) without to open it, the highlighter will show that with wrong colorization, because in the case of the {/if}, it assumes that you try to divide nothing by the unquoted string "if", since this operation has higher priority than an unallowed {/if} statement.

The same counts if you open an {if} in a HTML comment, but close it outside, or if a HTML tag is not closed correctly (e.g. {if $link !== ''}<a href="...">My Link</a{/if}).
