Introspection on templates

Hello,

I'm considering Smarty to use on a web application I'm putting together,
and I had a question about how I might take this:

<html>
<body>
Name: {$name}<br>
Address: {$address}<br>
</body>
</html>

And turn it into this:

<form action="./">
<input type="text" name="name"/>
<input type="text" name="address"/>
<input type="submit"/>
</form>

...without prior knowledge of the .tpl file. I understand this could get
complicated, should there be control structures like looping or if/else,
but I'm just curious if this has been done, or perhaps it hasn't and
this is a bad idea?

Thanks,
-Dan

I'm fairly new to Smarty
