A little confused now (calling a template)

Try

PHP Code:

This will output in the html source code:

This is <span style=\"font-weight: bold\">bold</span>

And, needless to say, the text will not be bold in the browser.

On the other hand:

PHP Code:

echo 'This is <span style="font-weight: bold">bold</span>'; 


will work just fine. No escapes there...

You must be using a different PHP than me. I just tested Lynne's code in a plugin and it works just fine. No parse error whatsoever.

This is what I have blank white page. I am following the guides here

$thistemplater .= $templater->render();

vB_Template::preRegister('FORUMHOME', array('thistemplater ' => $thistemplater ));  

$search_text = '<div id="pagetitle">';
$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME'] = str_replace($search_text,$thistemplater.$search_text,$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME']);

I just threw this code into a mod of mine instead of the template hook it normally uses. This works perfectly fine for me.
Please post the complete code you are using.
