-Define new functions using @qgsfunction. feature and parent must always be the
-last args. Use args=-1 to pass a list of values as arguments
+Define a new function using the @qgsfunction decorator.
+
+The function accept the following parameters
+
+:param [any]: Define any parameters you want to pass to your function before
+              the following arguments.
+:param feature: The current feature
+:param parent: The QgsExpression object
+:param context: If there is an argument called ``context`` found at the last
+                position, this variable will contain a ``QgsExpressionContext``
+                object, that gives access to various additional information like
+                expression variables. E.g. ``context.variable('layer_id')``
+:returns: The result of the expression.
+
+
+The @qgsfunction decorator accepts the following arguments:
+
+:param args: Defines the number of arguments. With ``args='auto'`` the number
+             arguments will automatically be extracted from the signature.
+:param group: The name of the group under which this expression function will
+              be listed.
+:param usesgeometry: Set this to False if your function does not access
+                     feature.geometry(). Defaults to True.
+:param referenced_columns: An array of attribute names that are required to run
+                           this function. Defaults to
+                           [QgsFeatureRequest.ALL_ATTRIBUTES].
