Comments
Template comments are surrounded by asterisks, and that is surrounded by the delimiter tags like so:
{* this is a comment *}Tplix comments are NOT displayed in the final output of the template, unlike
<!-- HTML comments -->. These are useful for making internal notes in the templates which no one will see ;-){* I am a Tplix comment, I don't exist in the compiled output *}
<html>
<head>
<title>{$title}</title>
</head>
<body>
{* another single line Tplix comment *}
<!-- HTML comment that is sent to the browser -->
{* this multiline Tplix
comment is
