Helpers are custom functions defined for Handlebars in Publii. We have defined many helpers - both inline and conditional. All conditional helpers have the hash char in their name.

For example, **{{#checkIf}}** is a conditional helper, where **{{date}}** is an inline helper.

Of course, it is also possible to create custom helpers in the theme - you can read more about it [here](https://getpublii.com/dev/how-to-create-custom-handlebars-helpers/).
