-You can register custom implementations of `io.github.erdos.stencil.functions.Function` or the `stencil.functions/call-fn` multimethod.
+You can register custom implementations of `io.github.erdos.stencil.functions.Function` or the `stencil.functions/call-fn` multimethod.  
+If you implement the `call-fn` multimethod, the namespace containing these implementations should be loaded before rendering a document.  
+(Keep in mind, that `call-fn` implementations always have priority over `io.github.erdos.stencil.functions.Function` implementations)

+### Automatic registration of custom functions
+
+Stencil uses the JVM's [ServiceLoader](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/ServiceLoader.html) facility to load function provider implementations.
+If you want to register your custom functions automatically, implement the `io.github.erdos.stencil.functions.FunctionsProvider` interface,
+and add these implementations to your extension library's `META-INF/services/io.github.erdos.stencil.functions.FunctionsProvider` file.
