Difference between assigns and registers?

[subimage interactive]

Sorry for all the really stupid questions lately...but, here's another one :)

What's the difference between assigns and registers when rendering a template? From what I grok, assigns are basically variables that are accessable in the template itself, and registers are accessable from the drops/filters/tags?

Is this somewhat on point, or am I missing it?

Anyone care to chime in on this one? :)

Ok, found something that cleared it up for me.

You notice that I pass Liquid two other items. assigns is a hash of available variables, objects or drops that the template can reference. registers is a hash of variables that are accessible from Drops, Tags, and Filters. Think of assigns as exposed to the template, andregisters only used within the back-end processing of the template.

Nice link. Guides / advanced topic explanations are tough to come by
with Liquid.
