What are some common pitfalls or challenges that PHP developers may face when transitioning from using ITX templates to Smarty templates?

One common challenge PHP developers may face when transitioning from ITX templates to Smarty templates is the syntax differences between the two templating engines. To solve this, developers should familiarize themselves with Smarty's syntax and documentation to understand how to properly structure their templates.

// Example PHP code snippet using Smarty syntax
$smarty = new Smarty;

$smarty->assign('name', 'John Doe');
$smarty->display('index.tpl');
