title: Concatenate Smarty Variable with a String in tpl
body: <p>I have assigned a smarty variable as such in my php file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$smarty-&gt;assign('companyname', $_SESSION['companyname']);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How to mix regular html string with smarty variable?</p>
  
  <p>I want to do something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href="/${companyname}/hello" class="mainMenu"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But the smarty template engine fails to evaluate properly the variable <code>companyname</code></p>
