+		Virtual class to define custom [VisualShaderNode]s for use in the Visual Shader Editor.
+	</brief_description>
+	<description>
+		By inheriting this class you can create a custom [VisualShader] script addon which will be automatically added to the Visual Shader Editor. The [VisualShaderNode]'s behavior is defined by overriding the provided virtual methods.
+		In order for the node to be registered as an editor addon, you must use the [code]tool[/code] keyword and provide a [code]class_name[/code] for your custom script. For example:
+		[codeblock]
+		tool
+		extends VisualShaderNodeCustom
+		class_name VisualShaderNodeNoise
+		[/codeblock]
