Tag Islands

Tag Islands

Tag Islands allows you to switch to tag mode, i.e. like a .cfm file, from within <cfscript>

Simply use three backticks to switch into tag mode and then again to exit tag mode, like a code block in markdown.

Great for refactoring old code, or just when you need to do some quick tag style code.

Unfortunately, currently the docs markdown / wiki support doesn't quite allow escaping them for an example.

<cfscript>
  access_level = 1;

  // three backticks to start
  <cfquery name="q">
    select name 
    from  users 
    where acess_level = <cfqueryparam value="#access_level#" type="integer"/>
  </cfquery>

  // three backticks to close
  loop query="q" {
    echo( q.name );
  }

</cfscript>
