RequestHandlers

 This defines a function called `index` that will respond to requests by rendering the template `index.html`.
+
+== URL Parts as Parameters ==
+
+Any dynamic parts of the URLs defined in the UrlRouting are passed to the request handler as additional parameters. For example:
+
+{{{
+#!python
+from datetime import datetime
+from diva import app
+from diva.templating import output, render
+
+@output('index.html')
+def monthly(request, response, year, month):
+    return render(month=datetime(year, month, 1))
+
+app.routing.add('/archives/{year:\d+}/{month:\d+}/', monthly)
+}}}
+
+Note that in this particular case, the values for `year` and `month` are automatically converted to numbers, due to the use of the `\d+` pattern in the route path.
