 How to Work with Service Tags
 =============================
 
-In the same way that a blog post on the web might be tagged with things such
-as "Symfony" or "PHP", services configured in your container can also be
-tagged. In the service container, a tag implies that the service is meant
-to be used for a specific purpose. Take the following example:

-The ``twig.extension`` tag is a special tag that the TwigBundle uses
-during configuration. By giving the service this ``twig.extension`` tag,
-the bundle knows that the ``app.twig_extension`` service should be registered
-as a Twig extension with Twig. In other words, Twig finds all services tagged
-with ``twig.extension`` and automatically registers them as extensions.
+Services tagged with the ``twig.extension`` tag are collected during the
+initialization of TwigBundle and added to Twig as extensions.
