To illustrate the use of ''\parameters'' pragma, see [[Core Icons]] which are parameterised. The first parameter `size` specified the size at which the icon should be rendered. For example see the text of [[$:/core/images/print-button]] tiddler. The first line defines the size parameter as `\parameters (size:"22pt")`
<<wikitext-example-without-html """{{$:/core/images/print-button|16px}}
<$transclude $tiddler="$:/core/images/print-button" size="32px"/>
""">>
In the above example, the first line shows a simple transclusion of [[$:/core/images/print-button]] icon with `size` parameter passed by position and is set to 16px. The second line is a transclusion of image with `size` parameter passed by name and is set to 32px.

! Use of Parameters Inside Procedures
The parameters can be declared inside procedures. The parameters widget is necessary in a procedure if you want to use computed default values. For example:
<<wikitext-example-without-html
src:"""\procedure myproc()
<$parameters name={{$:/SiteTitle}} desc={{$:/SiteSubtitle}}>
This is <<name>> demonstrates <<desc>>.
</$parameters>
\end
<<myproc>>
""">>
!! Caution in Using Positional Parameters
Procedures are a shortcut syntax for the SetVariableWidget with an implicit ParametersWidget, so generally there is no reason to have multiple parameters widgets within a definition. In the below example when passing `x` to `myproc`, it will also be set to `a`:
<<wikitext-example-without-html
src:"""\procedure myproc(x:10)
\parameters (a:100, b:200)
x=<<x>>, a=<<a>>, b=<<b>>
\end
<<myproc 50>>
""">>
The reason for that result is clearer if we consider an equivalent with explicit parameters widgets.
<$macrocall $name=wikitext-example-without-html
src='<$let myprog="""
\parameters (x:10)
\parameters (a:100, b:200)
x=<<x>>, a=<<a>>, b=<<b>>
""">
<<myprog 50>>
</$let>'
/>
This is because those two parameters widgets are entirely independent. They are both processed as if the other parameter widget is not there.
<<.tip "The positional parameters are only required when using the parameterised transclusion shortcut syntax, and that in other cases it is generally clearer to use named parameters.">>
To prevent such situation of above example, pass parameters by name as below.
<<wikitext-example-without-html
src:"""\procedure myproc(x:10)
\parameters (a:100, b:200)
x=<<x>>, a=<<a>>, b=<<b>>
\end
<<myproc x:50>>
""">>

''Example i'': Shows transclusion of [[Sample Tiddler Template]]. The template tiddler has two parameters `name` and `age` and here their default values are used.
<$macrocall $name=".example" n="1" eg="""<$transclude $tiddler="Sample Tiddler Template" />"""/>
''Example ii'': Shows, another transclusion of [[Sample Tiddler Template]], here the value of `age` is passed, but `name` uses its default value.
<$macrocall $name=".example" n="2" eg="""<$transclude $tiddler="Sample Tiddler Template" age=33/>"""/>
''Example iii'': Shows, another transclusion of [[Sample Tiddler Template]], here the value of both `name` and `age` are passed.
<$macrocall $name=".example" n="3" eg="""<$transclude $tiddler="Sample Tiddler Template" age=45 name="Jeremy Ruston" />"""/>
In the simple form the above transclusion is equivalent to
<$macrocall $name=".example" n="3.1" eg="""{{Sample Tiddler Template|Jeremy Ruston|45}}"""/>
In this simple form, parameters passed by position not by name. So the first value is passed to the first parameter, here `name` and the second value is passed to the second parameter, here `age`.
''Remarks''
# Passing parameter by name is good practice and is recommended for clarity. So for parameterized transclusions, the use of <<.wid transclude>> is recommended over simple form transclusion.
# When passing parameters value by position, you cannot pass the second parameter while the first one has not been passed.
''Example iv'': Here the <<.wlink ParametersWidget>> widget is used to declare a parameter whose default value is transcluded from another tiddler.
<$macrocall $name=".example" n="4" eg="""\procedure myproc()
<$parameters name={{$:/SiteTitle}} age="21">
My name is <<name>> and my age is <<age>>.
</$parameters>
\end
<$transclude $variable="myproc" age="19"/>
