@@ -246,21 +246,77 @@ Subclassing Context: DjangoContext
 
 Django comes with a special ``Context`` class,
 ``django.core.extensions.DjangoContext``, that acts slightly differently than
-the normal ``django.core.template.Context``. It takes an ``HttpRequest`` object
-as its first argument, and it automatically populates the context with a few
-variables:
+the normal ``django.core.template.Context``. The first difference is that takes
+an `HttpRequest object`_ as its first argument. For example::
+
+    c = DjangoContext(request, {
+        'foo': 'bar',
+    }
+
+The second difference is that it automatically populates the context with a few
+variables, according to your `TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS setting`_.
+
+The ``TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS`` setting is a tuple of callables that take a
+request object as their argument and return a dictionary of items to be merged
+into the context. By default, ``TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS`` is set to::
+
+    ("django.core.context_processors.auth",
+    "django.core.context_processors.debug",
+    "django.core.context_processors.i18n")
+
+Each processor is applied in order. That means, if one processor adds a
+variable to the context and a second processor adds a variable with the same
+name, the second will override the first. The default processors are explained
+below.
+
+Also, you can give ``DjangoContext`` a list of additional processors, using the
+optional, third positional argument, ``processors``. In this example, the
+``DjangoContext`` instance gets a ``ip_address`` variable::
+
+    def ip_address_processor(request):
+        return {'ip_address': request.META['REMOTE_ADDR']}
+
+    def some_view(request):
+        # ...
+        return DjangoContext({
+            'foo': 'bar',
+        }, [ip_address_processor])
+
+Note: The concept of template-context processors is new in the Django
+development version. In Django 0.90, ``DjangoContext`` automatically populates
+the context with all of the values explained below, but it's not possible to
+add and remove processors.
