I was curious and did a bit of googling:

apparently the Hero Framework uses smarty as template engine, which is …interesting…(Excurse: smarty seems quite sophisticated these days and I know it did a good job of cache handling even a few years ago. On the other hand, it’s another layer in your Application, it’s another dialect to learn, it’s code that has to be interpreted by PHP)

smarty strongly discourages the direct use of pure php in the templates, you can read more here:
