Class designation: Interface org.apache.wiki.api.plugin.WikiPlugin

WikiPlugin is the interface for JSPWiki plugins. It contains a single method:

  String execute( WikiContext context, Map<String,String> params ) throws PluginException

This is the main entry point for any plugin. The parameters are parsed, and a special parameter called "_body" signifies the name of the plugin body, i.e. the part of the plugin that is not a parameter of the form "key=value". This has been separated using an empty line.

Note that it is preferred that the plugin returns XHTML-compliant HTML (i.e. close all tags, use <br /> instead of <br>, etc.
