end.</code>
+ <note>If using multiple CTHs, the first part of the return tuple will be
+ used as input for the next CTH. So in the case above the next CTH might
+ get <c>{fail,Reason}</c> as the second parameter. If you have many CTHs
+ which interact, it might be a good idea to not let each CTH return
+ <c>fail</c> or <c>skip</c>. Instead return that an action should be taken
+ through the <c>Config</c> list and implement a CTH which at the end takes
+ the correct action. </note>
