Context items are evaluated in expressions and statements. When context items are used as an expression, the resulting content will always be text.

Context items may be simple such as boolean, number, and text; or complex, in which case, they may have subordinate context items with properties that can be accessed using a path expression. Complex context items may have no path expression and in this case they have a default value which will be listed in the context-item definitions below.
