-    A dictionary of values to add to the template context. By default, this
-    is an empty dictionary. If a value in the dictionary is callable, the

+``context_instance``
+    The context instance to render the template with. By default, the template
+    will be rendered with a ``Context`` instance (filled with values from
+    ``dictionary``). If you need to use `context processors`_, you will want to
+    render the template with a ``RequestContext`` instance instead. Your code
+    might look something like this::
+
+        return render_to_response('my_template.html',
+                                  my_data_dictionary,
