+=== Create a New Collection in a function ===
+<code javascript>
+async function createCollection(name) {
+    var currentCollection = ZoteroPane.getSelectedCollection();
+    var collection = new Zotero.Collection();
+    collection.name = name;
+    collection.parentID = currentCollection.id;

+    return collectionID;
+}
+</code>
+This function creates a new collection with a given name and makes
+it a subcollection of the currently selected one. Since the saving
+will result in a Promise object, we add the ''await'' before the
+function call and make sure that this is within an ''async'' function.
