The ColdFusion Markup Language

ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML) is a tag-based language similar to HTML that uses special tags and functions. With CFML, you can enhance your standard HTML files with database commands, conditional operators, and high-level formatting functions, and rapidly produce easy-to-maintain web applications.

CFML looks similar to HTML: it includes start and end tags, and each tag is enclosed in angle brackets. All ending tags are preceded with a forward slash (/) and all tag names are preceded with cf.
