In this documentation, working examples are complete Wrangle commands. Example:

All syntax commands use the following generalized structure:

Transformation Name	`[Search Term in Transform Builder]`
Parameter: param1	`param_value1`
Parameter: param2	`FUNCTION_NAME(arg1,[arg2])`
Parameter: param3	`(expression)`
Parameter: param4	`'param_value4'`

Inputs:
- For transformations, inputs are called parameters.
- For functions, inputs are called arguments.
Function names are written in ALL CAPS.
Square brackets [like this] indicate optional parameters or arguments.
Parentheses are used:
- To bracket function inputs
- To bracket expressions, such as myCol >= 4. In some of these instances, parentheses may be optional.
A vertical pipe (|) may be used between parameters or arguments that are paired. Typically, one of them may be used, but not both.
