Rolan:

Many thanks. Seems obviously, but I have been stuck because I use a
single Display command with the "content template" included in the
middle of a master template.

It seems like Multiple Displays would work, but it does make it more
difficult to keep track of lots of pieces in a complex template. Perhaps
I could use Fetch instead to take care of this one problem and then
still use Display to build the composite template.

Subject: Re: [nycphp-talk] Smarty Template question

The smarty template does not have to be a complete page. I believe you 
can call a template multiple times from within the PHP document e.g.

$smarty->display('header.tpl');

$data=getTableData($first);
$smarty->assign('data',$data);
$smarty->display('tabletemplate.tpl');

$data=getTableData($second);
$smarty->assign('data',$data);
$smarty->display('tabletemplate.tpl');

$data=getTableData($third);
$smarty->assign('data',$data);
$smarty->display('tabletemplate.tpl');

$smarty->display('footer.tpl');
