This section describes the properties of a HTML viewer portlet, as shown on the corresponding Edit pane.

Property	Description

Implementation type	Select the appropriate implementation type. Choose between the following options: Traditional HTML: The traditional HTML template format. Supports substitution tags (see below), as well as conditional execution using the configured parameter name, ref and value. FreeMarker Template: FreeMarker based template. Supports the top level properties `component` (ComponentModel) and `context` (ContextModel).

Cache interval in min	Type the time in minutes for which you want to keep content in the cache.
Parameter name	If you want conditional execution, you can type the name of parameter which must be passed to the page (either by GET or POST) in order to execute the portlet. Note that this applies only when the implementation type is “Traditional HTML”; for other types, use the capabilities of the templating language.
Parameter ref	If the parameter identified in Parameter name is sent as part of a form (POST), type the name of the form.
Parameter value	If you want the portlet to execute only when the parameter identified by Parameter name has a certain value, enter the value.

For the implementation type “Traditional HTML”, you can use hash-based substitution tags. This table lists available tags.
