<<.from-version "5.3.0">> The ''\function'' [[pragma|Pragmas]] is used to [[define custom functions|Functions]]. It is a shortcut syntax for the SetVariableWidget.
The usual form allows custom functions to span multiple lines:
```
\function <function-name>(<param-name>[:<param-default-value>],<param-name>[:<param-default-value>]...)
<multiple-line-definition-text>
\end
```
There is also a single line form for shorter functions:
```
\function <function-name>(<param-name>[:<param-default-value>],<param-name>[:<param-default-value>]...) <single-line-definition-text>
```
The first line of the definition specifies the function name and any parameters. Each parameter has a name and, optionally, a default value that is used if no value is supplied on a particular call to the function. The lines that follow contain the text of the function (i.e. the snippet represented by the function name), until `\end` appears on a line by itself:
See [[Functions]] for more details.
