Event SmartyPreCompile - variable with text passed by reference?

[Vin]

I need some more explanation into this - sorry if this sounds dumb, but I'm really not sure.

In the help of this event, I read :

'content' - Reference to the affected content text.

Does it mean that this variable (accessible with $params['content']) is  passed by reference and when I modify its contents in a UDT appended to the event, my changes will affect the variable which was used as an argument in Events::SendEvent and be stored in the database?

Yes, you're passed a reference to the content object.

You can change the object, and call the Save() method to have those changes reflected in the database.
