It doesn't necessarily move presentation to the code, you can still use templates to present the output of the function. In my case I use a function only for grabbing the content, not displaying it. Example: {get_article_info id=$art_id assign="art_info"} {* art_info now contains my article information *} <b>{$art_info.title}</b><br /> {$art_info.subtitle}<br /> <i>{$art_info.byline}</i> In the case your function must take data and wrap it around some presentation yet you still want to keep the presentation control in a template, you can pass a path to your template to the function: {show_article id=$art_id template="article.tpl"} You certainly want to avoid hard-coding presentation elements in the function unless the function is specifically meant to do so.
