### Description

[](#description)

Stash allows you to stash text and snippets of code for reuse throughout your templates. Stash extends ExpressionEngine’s template parser with powerful features such as variables, lists, parse-order control, template partials, inheritance, layouts, caching and more. It will transform the way you think about and write templates.
