DWMX can interpret .tpl extension files as HTML out of the box (from
what I remember).
Check-out this link http://www.contactlensesprice.com/smarty/ to get it
to work better with smarty tags... The only trouble I ran into is that
DWMX did not recognize the xml file when i tried to follow the
automated route of installing the custom tags. A quick-fix is to copy
the contents of the xml file into the
dwmx_program_directory/Configuration/ThirdPartyTags/Tags.xml file.
Works as advertised.
