+Static Classes {#advanced.features.static.classes}
+==============
+
+You can directly access static classes. The syntax is the same as in
+PHP.
+
+> **Note**
+>
+> Direct access to PHP classes is not recommended. This ties the
+> underlying application code structure directly to the presentation,
+> and also complicates template syntax. It is recommended to register
+> plugins which insulate templates from PHP classes/objects. Use at your
+> own discretion. See the Best Practices section of the Smarty website.

+    {assign var=foo value=myclass::BAR}  <--- class constant BAR
+
+    {assign var=foo value=myclass::method()}  <--- method result
+
+    {assign var=foo value=myclass::method1()->method2}  <--- method chaining
+
+    {assign var=foo value=myclass::$bar}  <--- property bar of class myclass
+
+    {assign var=foo value=$bar::method}  <--- using Smarty variable bar as class name
