Assign html and var value smarty php

I need to assign value for smarty var but it need to be mixed with some html or text like

 {assign var="heading1" value='Hello $user <a href="#">logout</a>'}

HTML works but the $user variable does not.

In Smarty2 you would (for "complex variables" like $foo.bar.baz) write something like

{assign var="heading1" value="Hello `$user` <a href='#'>logout</a>"}

in Smarty3 you could do

{$heading1 = "Hello {$user} <a href='#'>logout</a>"}

If you want that variable to be escaped (and yes, you want that), you could use a {capture}:

{capture assign="heading1"}Hello {$user|escape} <a href='#'>logout</a>{/capture}

In Smarty3 you could do

{$heading1 = "Hello {$user|escape} <a href='#'>logout</a>"}

In order to embed your PHP variable, you must use double quotes in smarty.

For instance:

{assign var="heading1" value="Hello $user <a href='#'>logout</a>"}

should concatenate $user for you.
