Hi !  
I need to change the default “output” of some tags printed using HtmlHelper. I’ve had success with Form Helper using something like this:

```
$this->loadHelper('Form', [
    			'templates' => 'Pge.pge_templates'
    	]);

```

and

```
return [
    'inputContainer' => '<div class="input form-group {{type}}{{required}}">{{content}}</div>',
    'input' => '<input class="form-control" type="{{type}}" name="{{name}}"{{attrs}}/>',
    'textarea' => '<textarea class="form-control" name="{{name}}"{{attrs}}>{{value}}</textarea>',
    'select' => '<select class="form-control" name="{{name}}"{{attrs}}>{{content}}</select>',
    'dateWidget' => '{{day}}{{month}}{{year}}{{hour}}{{minute}}{{second}}{{meridian}}'
];

```

How can I apply this same approach to html tags like **table** or **span**?

Thanks in advance,  
Celso
