This is the procedure, and the parameter is <<parameter>>.

```
The name wrapped in double angled [[brackets|Brackets]] is used a shorthand way of [[transcluding|Transclusion]] the snippet. Each of these <<.def "procedure calls">> can supply a different set of parameters:
<<.tip """If a procedure has more than 1 parameter, it is highly encouraged to use "named parameters", as shown in the second example above. Even if it is more to type, it will pay off in the long run.""">>
Procedures are implemented as a special kind of [[variable|Variables]]. The only thing that distinguishes them from ordinary variables is the way that the parameters are handled.
