The action URL plug-in

Use the ActionURL rendering plug-in to create portlet action URLs and to insert them into the web content. The generated action URLs always address the instance of the Web Content Viewer portlet that renders the [Plugin:ActionURL] tag. Use this plug-in when posting form data from the web content to the Web Content Viewer portlet. This plug-in does not render the content between the opening and the closing tags.
