You can apply any number of modifiers to a variable. They will be
applied in the order they are combined, from left to right. They must
be separated with a <code class="literal">|</code> (pipe) character.
</p>
<div class="example">
<a name="id3044794"></a><p class="title"><b>Example 6.1. combining modifiers</b></p>
<div class="example-contents">
<pre class="programlisting">
<?php
$smarty->assign('articleTitle', 'Smokers are Productive, but Death Cuts Efficiency.');
?>
</pre>
<p>
where template is:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
{$articleTitle}
{$articleTitle|upper|spacify}
{$articleTitle|lower|spacify|truncate}
{$articleTitle|lower|truncate:30|spacify}
{$articleTitle|lower|spacify|truncate:30:". . ."}
</pre>
