# {capture}
`{capture}` is used to collect the output of the template between the
tags into a variable instead of displaying it. Any content between
`{capture name='foo'}` and `{/capture}` is collected into the variable
specified in the `name` attribute.
The captured content can be used in the template from the variable
[`$smarty.capture.foo`](../language-variables/language-variables-smarty.md#smartycapture-languagevariablessmartycapture) where "foo"
is the value passed in the `name` attribute. If you do not supply the
`name` attribute, then "default" will be used as the name ie
`$smarty.capture.default`.
`{capture}'s` can be nested.
## Attributes
| Attribute Name | Required | Description |
|----------------|----------|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| name | Yes | The name of the captured block |
| assign | No | The variable name where to assign the captured output to |
| append | No | The name of an array variable where to append the captured output to |
## Option Flags
| Name | Description |
|---------|-----------------------------------------|
| nocache | Disables caching of this captured block |
## Examples
```smarty
{* we don't want to print a div tag unless content is displayed *}
{capture name="banner"}
{capture "banner"} {* short-hand *}
{include file="get_banner.tpl"}
{/capture}
{if $smarty.capture.banner ne ""}
<div id="banner">{$smarty.capture.banner}</div>
{/if}
```
This example demonstrates the capture function.
```smarty
{capture name=some_content assign=popText}
{capture some_content assign=popText} {* short-hand *}
The server is {$my_server_name|upper} at {$my_server_addr}<br>
Your ip is {$my_ip}.
{/capture}
<a href="#">{$popText}</a>
```
This example also demonstrates how multiple calls of capture can be used
to create an array with captured content.
```smarty
{capture append="foo"}hello{/capture}I say just {capture append="foo"}world{/capture}
{foreach $foo as $text}{$text} {/foreach}
```
The above example will output:
```
I say just hello world
```
