Laravel: where to put UI logic?

For example, in a view I have:

<td class="table-reference"> 
    <?php echo substr($biblio['reference'], 0, strpos($biblio['reference'], '('));  ?> 
</td>

I wanted to write a function for the string parsing to make it cleaner. Where does that usually go? It seems out of place in both controller or model.

You should consider creating a 'helper'

Here's a link to a good post on how to do that: http://laravel-recipes.com/recipes/50/creating-a-helpers-file

Thanks, that looks promising. View Composer looks to work too.
