!! Introduction
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<<.from-version "5.3.0">> A <<.def function>> is a named snippet of text containing a [[Filter Expression]]. Functions can have named parameters which are available within the function as variables.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Functions are usually defined with the [[Pragma: \function]]:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
\function my-function(parameter:"2")
|
||
|
|
[<parameter>multiply[1.5]]
|
||
|
|
\end
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Functions can be invoked in several ways:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Directly transclude functions with the syntax `<<myfn param:"value">>`
|
||
|
|
* Assign functions to widget attributes with the syntax `<div class=<<myfn param:"value">>>`
|
||
|
|
* Invoke functions via the [[function Operator]] with the syntax `[function[myfn],[value],...]`
|
||
|
|
* Directly invoke functions whose names start with a period as custom filter operators with the syntax `[.myfn[value]]`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
!! How Functions Work
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Functions 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.
