If you look to laravel official documentation http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/templates It says that giving this layout:
<!-- Stored in app/views/layouts/master.blade.php --><html> <body> @section('sidebar') This is the master sidebar. @show <div class="container"> @yield('content') </div> </body></html>Extended by this view
@extends('layouts.master')@section('sidebar') <p>This is appended to the master sidebar.</p>@stop@section('content') <p>This is my body content.</p>@stopWill append to the section sidebar. But actually if you try is it doesn’t append, it just override the content from the extended template.
I heard about others blade function like @append, @prepend, @parent… no one seems to work.
Beside, this example in the official doc which doesn’t work, I find that the blade documentation is very poor. There’s nothing about blade function like @parent for instance.

The example in the documentation from Laravel website does indeed seem to be flawed, but I think it’s a markdown parsing problem on the website, the same docs on github show the correct code:
In any case @parent does indeed work. The example in the docs should look like this:
@extends('layouts.master')@section('sidebar') @parent <p>This is appended to the master sidebar.</p>@stop@section('content') <p>This is my body content.</p>@stopA quick look in the Illuminate/View/Factory.php confirms what @parent does:
/** * Append content to a given section. * * @param string $section * @param string $content * @return void */protected function extendSection($section, $content){ if (isset($this->sections[$section])) { $content = str_replace('@parent', $content, $this->sections[$section]); } $this->sections[$section] = $content;}
