A template engine is software that is designed to process web templates and content information to produce output web documents.
Smarty PHP Template Engine
Although Smarty is known as a "Template Engine", it would be more accurately described as a "Template/Presentation Framework." That is, it provides the programmer and template designer with a wealth of tools to automate tasks commonly dealt with at the presentation layer of an application.
Caching: Smarty provides fine-grained caching features for caching all or parts of a rendered web page, or leaving parts uncached.
Configuration Files: Smarty can assign variables pulled from configuration files.
Security: Templates do not contain PHP code. Therefore, a template designer is not unleashed with the full power of PHP, but only the subset of functionality made available to them from the programmer (application code.)

TagTemplate
PHP library class
TagTemplate is a class that performs both of the above tasks, plus a bit more. You decide which via a function parameter.
Using the first option, you can, for example, "include" one HTML file in another, but without the <HEAD> tag or anything not inside the <BODY>. Or you could include a JavaScript that's embedded in one HTML file into another. Or you could surround an arbitrary piece of HTML code with some invented tag (such as, <INCLUDED_BIT>This is to be included in other files</INCLUDED_BIT>) and extract that HTML code snippet for insertion into another file.
