HTML\_Template\_Sigma
=====================
[](#html_template_sigma)
[](https://github.com/pear/HTML_Template_Sigma/actions/workflows/continuous-integration.yml)
This is a repository for [PEAR HTML\_Template\_Sigma](https://pear.php.net/package/HTML_Template_Sigma/) package that has been migrated from PEAR SVN.
The package is a fork of [PEAR HTML\_Template\_IT](https://pear.php.net/package/HTML_Template_IT/) and can be used as a drop-in replacement for that. The main advantages of Sigma are
- implementation of [template caching](https://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.html.html-template-sigma.intro-cache.php) and
- support for some [extra syntax](https://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.html.html-template-sigma.intro-syntax.php).
Please report issues via the [PEAR bug tracker](https://pear.php.net/bugs/search.php?cmd=display&package_name%5B%5D=HTML_Template_Sigma) or [GitHub issues](https://github.com/pear/HTML_Template_Sigma/issues).
Pull requests are welcome.
