What do you mean? I'm pretty new to making syntax highlighting for KDE Kate, so I'm just now fixing my other thing before I get into much more advanced concept of it.
The way I remember stuff and it seems to be explained in here a context is a way to limit the amount of checked regexes. So as I understand you can start an expr context if you hit one of those keywords. Kind of like modes in XSL or working with a stack.
That document also describes how to handle newlines in context.
