some questions on smarty syntax...

---- escaping
is there an escape code? i need to get some curly brackets in my returned
text... eg if {$name} is a variable holding "fred"

I need {=fred}
but
{={$name}}

gives me smarty errors.
\{= .. also...

---- backticks
What are the backticks for in smarty? i noticed

{assign var='px' value="`$smarty.section.menu.index`*5" }

if the section index is 3, this returns "3*5" as a string...rather than
"15"
but removing the backticks gives a calculation.

------- section index
also, a question about using "section" for simple counter loops...
this example from the docs:

{section name=customer loop=$custid}
id: {$custid[customer]}<br>
name: {$name[customer]}<br>
address: {$address[customer]}<br>
<p>

seems to use [customer] as an integer/array index.
yet {$customer} returns "Array" as a type. To get a value to use I have to
do {$smarty.section.customer.index}
I dont quite follow why it works in one case but not another...


Thanks!
