 Prefixing the Names of Imported Routes

-You also have the possibility to prefix all route names defined in a controller

+You also have the possibility to prefix the names of all the routes defined in
+a controller class or imported from a configuration file:
 
-    use Symfony\Component\Routing\Annotation\Route;
+.. configuration-block::
 
-    /**
-     * @Route(name="blog_")
-     */
-    class BlogController extends Controller

+        <routes xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/routing"
+            xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
+            xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/routing
+                http://symfony.com/schema/routing/routing-1.0.xsd">
+
+            <import
+                resource="../src/Controller/"
+                type="annotation"

+
+        $collection = new RouteCollection();
+        $collection->addCollection($app);
+
+        return $collection;
 
 In this example, the names of the routes will be ``blog_index`` and ``blog_post``.
 
+.. versionadded:: 4.1
+    The option to prefix route names in YAML, XML and PHP files was introduced
+    in Symfony 4.1. Previously only the ``@Route()`` annotation supported this
+    feature.
