+Actions and inlineCallbacks
+---------------------------
+
+Eliot provides a decorator that is compatible with Twisted's ``inlineCallbacks`` but which also behaves well with Eliot's actions.
+Simply substitute ``eliot.twisted.inline_callbacks`` for ``twisted.internet.defer.inlineCallbacks`` in your code.
+
+To understand why, consider the following example:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+     from eliot import start_action
+     from twisted.internet.defer import inlineCallbacks
+
+     @inlineCallbacks  # don't use this in real code, use eliot.twisted.inline_callbacks
+     def go():
+         with start_action(action_type=u"yourapp:subsystem:frob"):
+	     d = some_deferred_api()
+	     x = yield d
+	     Message.log(message_type=u"some-report", x=x)
+
+The action started by this generator remains active as ``yield d`` gives up control to the ``inlineCallbacks`` controller.
+The next bit of code to run will be considered to be a child of ``action``.
+Since that code may be any arbitrary code that happens to get scheduled,
+this is certainly wrong.
+
+Additionally,
+when the ``inlineCallbacks`` controller resumes the generator,
+it will most likely do so with no active action at all.
+This means that the log message following the yield will be recorded with no parent action,
+also certainly wrong.
+
+These problems are solved by using ``eliot.twisted.inline_callbacks`` instead of ``twisted.internet.defer.inlineCallbacks``.
+The behavior of the two decorators is identical except that Eliot's version will preserve the generator's action context and contain it within the generator.
+This extends the ``inlineCallbacks`` illusion of "synchronous" code to Eliot actions.

 * Generating messages is much faster.
 * ``eliot.ValidationError``, as raised by e.g. ``capture_logging``, is now part of the public API. Fixed issue #146.
 * ``eliot.twisted.DeferredContext.addCallbacks`` now supports omitting the errback, for compatibility with Twisted's ``Deferred``. Thanks to Jean-Paul Calderone for the fix. Fixed issue #366.
+* New decorator, ``@eliot.twisted.inline_callbacks`` , which is like Twisted's ``inlineCallbacks`` but which also manages the Eliot context. Thanks to Jean-Paul Calderone for the fix. Fixed issue #259.
+* The testing infrastructure now has slightly more informative error messages. Thanks to Jean-Paul Calderone for the bug report. Fixes issue #373.
 * Added lower-level testing infrastructure—``eliot.testing.swap_logger`` and ``eliot.testing.check_for_errors``—which is useful for cases when the ``@capture_logging`` decorator is insufficient. For example, test methods that are async, or return Twisted ``Deferred``. See the :doc:`testing documentation<generating/testing>` for details. Thanks to Jean-Paul Calderone for the feature request. Fixes #364.
-* The testing API now has slightly more informative error messages. Thanks to Jean-Paul Calderone for the bug report. Fixes issue #373.
 * ILogger.write is now explicitly thread-safe.  The MemoryLogger implementation of this method which was previously not thread-safe is now thread-safe.

Generators (and generator-based APIs like inlineCallbacks) don't work well with current implicit context
See #201 for example.

@jonathanj was talking about an explicit context API, where you just pass it around. That would be one solution.

Another is a decorator to be added to generators that deals with reinstating correct context.

At a minimum some documentation is probably called for.
