title: Procedure Definitions
type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki
!! Introduction
This tiddler describes the different ways in which [[Procedures|Procedures]] can be defined.
!! Procedure Definition Pragma
Procedures are created using the [[Pragma: \procedure]] at the start of a tiddler. The definitions are available in the rest of the tiddler that defines them, plus any tiddlers that it transcludes.
```
\procedure my-procedure(param)
This is the procedure text (param=<<param>>)
\end
```
Note that the [[Pragma: \whitespace]] setting is inherited from the parsing context in which the procedure definition occurs. That means that a tiddler containing multiple procedure definitions only needs a single whitespace pragma at the top of the tiddler, and the setting will be automatically inherited by the procedure definitions without needing the pragma to be repeated.
!! Procedure Definition with Set Widget
Procedures are implemented as a special kind of [[variable|Variables]] and so internally are actually defined with a <<.wlink SetWidget>> widget.
```
<$set name="my-procedure" value="This is the procedure text">
...
</$set>
```
<<.note """that it is not currently possible to specify parameters when defining a procedure with the <<.wlink SetWidget>> widget.""">>
!! Importing Procedure Definitions
The [[Pragma: \import]] or <<.wlink ImportVariablesWidget>> widget can be used to copy procedure definitions from another tiddler.
!! `$:/tags/Global` Tag
Global procedures can be defined using the [[SystemTag: $:/tags/Global]].
The tag [[SystemTag: $:/tags/Global/View]] is used to define procedures that should only be available within the main view template and the preview panel.
The tag [[SystemTag: $:/tags/Global/View/Body]] is used to define procedures that should only be available within the main view template body and the preview panel.
