+The <<.op insertbefore>> operator requires at least one parameter which specifies the title to insert into the input list. A second parameter can be used to specify the title before which the new title should be inserted.
+
+```
+insertbefore:<before-title-variable>[<title>],[<before-title>]
+```
+
+* ''title'' : a title <<.place T>> to insert in the input list.
+* ''before-title'' : (optional). Insert <<.place T>> before this title <<.place B>> in the input list.
+* ''before-title-variable'' : (optional). The name of a variable specifying <<.place B>> instead of the `before-title` parameter.
+
 If the item <<.place B>> isn't present in the input list then the new item is inserted at the end of the list.
