Modifiers
Modifiers are little functions that are applied to a variable in the template before it is displayed or used in some other context. Modifiers can be chained together.

The first parameter to the modifier plugin is the value on which the
modifier is to operate. The rest of the parameters are optional,
depending on what kind of operation is to be performed.
The modifier has to [return](https://www.php.net/return) the result of its
processing.
This plugin basically aliases one of the built-in PHP functions. It does
not have any additional parameters.
