type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki

The ''\parameters'' [[pragma|Pragmas]] is used within [[procedure|Procedure Definitions]] and [[widget|Widget Definitions]] definitions to declare the parameters that are expected, and their default values. It is a shortcut syntax for the ParametersWidget.

```
\parameters (<name>[:<default-value>],<name>[:<default-value>]...)
```

For example:

```
\parameters (firstname:"Joe",lastname:"Blogs")
```
