NOTE:
In the WikiCode, before a new section there is one empty line and after
there is one or none. Categories can either be at the top or the bottom
in the WikiCode, but preferred is top as most of the pages have that.
Add a function to the category "functions" and to any other it applies
(like "networkdll"); if it is a native function, add it do the
category "native":
[[Category:functions]]

When internally linking to a function, do it like so, using the "()":
[[functionname]]()

Definition

INT example_function ( <INT example_int> , <WORD example_word> , [<STRING example_string>] )

Does something.

Here goes a more detailed story about the function.

NOTE:
"Does something" is a small summary of the function, in one sentence.
Then a white line and then a more indepth story about the function.
The "[]" indicate an optional parameter. Format WikiCode function definition:

'''DATATYPE''' example_function ( [<'''PARAMETERTYPE''' parametername>] )

Notice the spaces around the '(', ',' and ')'. The functionname is in all
lower case, unless otherwise stated by the creator of the function.
Datatypes are always all uppercase. Parameters can differ a little, but
are mostly only lowercase.

Parameters

INT example_int	- Something about this int.
WORD example_word	- Something about this word.
[STRING example_string]	- Something about this optional string.

NOTE:
Use a list, it will result in a much better look. The "-" could be left out,
but actually looks nice.

Returns

INT : Some int.

0	- Error.
!0	- Success.

NOTE:
If it returns a code, like an errorcode, you can make a list:
{|
| some errorcode || - blabla
|-
| another || - yadayada
|}

Errors

List all errors which could be thrown by use of this function. If you don't know how or the function doesn't throw errors, just leave this section out. If you're certain it errors something, leave a notice that it errors something, but you don't know what.

Notes

Here are some notes, which explains some parts in more depth. Mostly not needed, in which case it can be left out.

Example

Program example;
Begin
    Loop
        frame;
    End
End

NOTE:
Please keep "tabs" at 4 spaces. Try to make the code look tidy and readable.
Under the code, outside the pre-tags, list the functions used and possible
other useful pages, like the page about pointers if the example relies on the
knowledge of pointers. First list the functions, then general pages and last
language pages. The last two aren't commonly useful, meaning that a link to
[[Begin]] for example is rarely needed. Consider this example:

Used in example: [[new_map]](), [[map_clear]](), [[pointer]]
