\$merge\_compiled\_includes {#variable.merge.compiled.includes}

By setting $merge_compiled_includes to TRUE Smarty will merge the compiled template code of subtemplates into the compiled code of the main template. This increases rendering speed of templates using a many different sub-templates.

Individual sub-templates can be merged by setting the inline option flag within the {include} tag. $merge_compiled_includes does not have to be enabled for the inline merge.

<?php
$smarty->merge_compiled_includes = true;

> Note > > This is a compile time option. If you change the setting you must make > sure that the templates get recompiled.
