QuickSkin is a Template Engine that was designed to support web based applications of any size. It is particularly suited to large scale applications like Content Management Systems. The project was originally started by Philipp v. Criegern and named "SmartTemplate". The project was then taken over by Manuel 'EndelWar' Dalla Lana and HonestQiao. The name of the project back then led to confusion with Smarty Templating. Despite its advantages over other templating systems (speed, small footprint, ease of use, power), SmartTemplate has not been updated and had many outstanding bugs. Codeworx Technologies has been using SmartTemplate on a variety of projects for several years. Over that time we have become very familiar with the code. We have now taken over the project. Our first task was to rename the project to make it less confusing, fix the bugs, and extend its capabilities -- while maintaining its core simplicity and ease of use.
