    // Quickform, Smarty and Overlib all at once. If you have not seen the previous examples, return to the index to do that first.

    // Look at the template (QfSmartyOverlib.tpl) to see how overlib is used. There is no overlib related code in this file.
    // Just the use of a different template file.
