# Add all blade templates to the tags, amending their tag to represent the strings used with the view helper
# (remove path prefix, remove extension suffix, replace forward slash with dots).
# This requires the editor to not treat dots as word seperators, an alternative is to add "--extras=f" in ctags config
# and remove the extension suffix with "-e 's/.blade.php\tresources/\tresources/g;'"
