 * Your views must be placed within your theme folder.
 * Your templates must have .blade.php extension.
 
+## Template helper
+There is a template helper function named "bladerunner", defined globally to use in standard WordPress templates.
+
+Example:
+You want to create a 404-template and don't want to use the .blade.php extension to the template file.
+
+* Create a 404.php in the theme root.
+* Add the following code to the template:
+```
+<?php
+    bladerunner('views.pages.404');
+```
+* In the folder "views/pages", create a blade template "404.blade.php".
+
+You can pass any data with the global "bladerunner" function like so,
+```
+<?php
+    bladerunner('views.pages.404', ['module'=>$module]);
+```
+or use compact, eg:
+```
+<?php
+    bladerunner('views.pages.404', compact('module'));
+```
+
 ## Hooks & Filters
 Bladerunner continuously implements filters and hooks to modify values and processes.
