Summary


This chapter has taken us from a blank page to a completely functional theme. We've covered how to build a PHPTemplate-powered theme from scratch, and illustrated how to further extend this (or any other PHPTemplate) theme. The role of variables in themes was discussed as was dynamic theming and styling. This chapter also touched on building themes without the use of a theme engine.
