 \\
 =====Description=====
-This function creates an [[syntax:types#empty_values|empty value]].
+This function decodes a text string using one of the available methods below.
-\\
-=====Use cases=====
-Use //empty()// to insert empty values into cells, or within other functions.
 \\
 =====Arguments=====
-This function does not require arguments.
+^Argument^Type^Description^
+|method  | Text |The decoding method to use on //text//.  See the table below.  |
-**Return value type:** Empty value
+|text  |Text |The text string to be decoded.  |
+**Return value type:** Text.
 \\
-=====Remarks=====
+^Method  ^Notes  ^
-While a value can be tested for an empty value using a "value = empty()" expression, the [[syntax:functions:isempty|IsEmpty]] function can also be used.  The two approaches are equivalent.
+|'uriComponentEscape' |Unescapes a URI, and then converts any plus characters ("+") into spaces. |
+|'Base64' |
+|'Base64url' | Base64 in URL encoding |
 \\
 =====Examples=====
+  decode("uriComponentEscape", "one%2Bone")  //Returns 'one+one'
-  [Content] = empty()  //Returns TRUE if [Content] contains an empty value, otherwise, FALSE.
-  coalesce(empty(), 'ABC', '')  //Using empty() as an argument within a function.
-  if( [Value] = 10, 'Ten', empty() )  //Using empty() to set an empty value in an If statement.
