  11. Define the HTML code. In the HTML code, use the names of the data source columns as a context variable references in the format "{#ContextVariableReference}". For example, here the HTML Presentation Object will get values from the name and createddate columns in the Repeater data source:

  12. Click Close a couple of times so that you are in the View Editor. The Repeater has now created an HTML Presentation Object for every row cell value in the Repeater data source, and the values from each row are now shown in place of the context variable references:
