Add "param2ctx" to one of the flavor-based plugin chains. This plugin chain can be found in the individual user's plugin.properties file. You can place it anywhere within the chain. For example:

html.blojsom-plugin-chain=param2ctx, ...

Usage

In the template, use velocity syntax with "param_" prefix.

$param_second
