Description
-----------
Extracts a tuple of values from the request context and provides them to the inner route.


The ``textract`` directive is used as a building block for :ref:`Custom Directives` to extract data from the
``RequestContext`` and provide it to the inner route. To extract just one value use the :ref:`-extract-` directive. To
provide a constant value independent of the ``RequestContext`` use the :ref:`-tprovide-` directive instead.

See :ref:`ProvideDirectives` for an overview of similar directives.

See also :ref:`-extract-` for extracting a single value.
