That's exactly what I needed!  It does say that no array member can be
accessed without looping in the template. But armed with the documentation I
could copy that particular array member to another variable in the php
(imp/compose.php), and pass it to the html template file
(imp/templates/compose/compose.html).  Problem solved!

Thanks so much for your help,
