:method:`Symfony\\Component\\Templating\\Helper\\HelperInterface::getName`.

This is the name that is used to get the helper from the ``$view`` object.

Creating a Custom Engine

Besides providing a PHP templating engine, you can also create your own engine

using the Templating component. To do that, create a new class which

implements the:class:`Symfony\\Component\\Templating\\EngineInterface`

interface. This interface requires 3 method:

*:method:`render($name, array $parameters = array()) <Symfony\\Component\\Templating\\EngineInterface::render>`

- Renders a template

*:method:`exists($name) <Symfony\\Component\\Templating\\EngineInterface::exists>`

- Checks if the template exists

*:method:`supports($name) <Symfony\\Component\\Templating\\EngineInterface::supports>`

- Checks if the given template can be handled by this engine.

Using Multiple Engines

It is possible to use multiple engines at the same time using the

:class:`Symfony\\Component\\Templating\\DelegatingEngine` class. This class

takes a list of engines and acts just like a normal templating engine. The

only difference is that it delegates the calls to one of the other engines. To

choose which one to use for the template, the

:method:`EngineInterface::supports() <Symfony\\Component\\Templating\\EngineInterface::supports>`

method is used.
