+### Add a description to your macro

+To help identify the functionality a short description can be added.
+Add `description:` with a short text to describe the functionality.
+Default is "G-Code macro" if not specified.

+[gcode_macro blink_led]
+description: Blink my_led one time

+  SET_PIN PIN=my_led VALUE=1
+  G4 P2000
+  SET_PIN PIN=my_led VALUE=0
+```

+function.
