+The context handler logs to the local logger by default. Logs can be sent to a custom logger by passing a logger object as a keyword argument. Use `configure_logging` method for ska formatted logs.
 
 **Example ska formatted logs for successful transaction**
 
 Log message formats:
 
 - On Entry:
-  - Transaction [id]: Enter [name] with parameters [arguments]
+  - Transaction[id]: Enter[name] with parameters [arguments] marker[marker]
 - On Exit:
-  - Transaction [id]: Exit [name]
+  - Transaction[id]: Exit[name] marker[marker]
 - On exception:
-  - Transaction [id]: Exception [name]
-    --Stacktrace--
+  - Transaction[id]: Exception[name] marker[marker]
+    -- Stacktrace --
+
+The marker can be used to match entry/exception/exit log messages.
