It's like when you hold off going to the doctor for ages when your foot hurts and, when you finally go, your doctor says, "let's way a few more days and see if it gets better." And it always does... Glad it worked and I'm also glad kristarella popped in to share her expertise! That's great!

By the way, the reason the functions look different, I think, is because custom_functions.php comes with an opening <?php tag right at the top of the file. So when people write new functions they don't need that unless they use an ending PHP tag to write some html, in which case they another opening one to start the PHP again. Whereas, I think when people post examples for functions.php, they usually assume the code stands on its own, so each section needs those opening and closing tags.
