+The ``{slug:post}`` syntax maps the route parameter named ``slug`` to the controller

+
+    Route parameter mapping was introduced in Symfony 7.1.
+
+When more than one entity needs to be derived from route parameters, collisions can happen.
+In the following example, the route tries to define two mappings: one to load an author by
+name, two to load a category by name. But this is not allowed because from the side of the
+route definition, this declares a parameter named "name" twice::
+
+    #[Route('/search-book/{name:author}/{name:category}')]
+
+Such routes should instead be defined using the following syntax::
+
+    #[Route('/search-book/{authorName:author.name}/{categoryName:category.name}')]
+
+This way, the route parameter names are unique (``authorName`` and ``categoryName``) and
+the "param converter" can correctly map them to controller arguments (``$author`` and
+``$category``), loading them both by their name.

+.. versionadded:: 7.3

+More advanced mappings can be achieved using the ``#[MapEntity]`` attribute.
