{config_load file="example.conf"}
{config_load "example.conf"} {* short-hand *}
<html>
<title>{#pageTitle#|default:"No title"}</title>
<body bgcolor="{#bodyBgColor#}">
<table border="{#tableBorderSize#}" bgcolor="{#tableBgColor#}">
<tr bgcolor="{#rowBgColor#}">
<td>First</td>
<td>Last</td>

</html>Config Files may also contain sections. You can load variables from within a section with the added attribute section. Note that global config variables are always loaded along with section variables, and same-named section variables overwrite the globals.
Config file sections and the built-in template function called
Example #2, short syntax
{section} have nothing to do with each other, they just happen to share a common naming convention.{config_load file='example.conf' section='Customer'}
{config_load 'example.conf' 'Customer'} {* short-hand *}
<html>
<title>{#pageTitle#|default:"No title"}</title>
<body bgcolor="{#bodyBgColor#}">
<table border="{#tableBorderSize#}" bgcolor="{#tableBgColor#}">
<tr bgcolor="{#rowBgColor#}">
<td>First</td>
<td>Last</td>
