java.lang.String execute(Context context,
                         java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> params)

```
    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.
    
    Parameters:
    
    context - The current WikiContext.
    
    params - A Map which contains key-value pairs. Any parameter that the user has specified on the wiki page will contain String-String parameters, but it is possible that at some future date, JSPWiki will give you other things that are not Strings.
    
    Returns:
    
    HTML, ready to be included into the rendered page.
    
    Throws:
    
    PluginException - In case anything goes wrong.
