Does ColdFusion automatically generate the basic HTML tags like:

   <HTML> <head></head> <body></body> </HTML>

Or do you have to include that in your source code like ASP or PHP?

    I personally would not want ColdFusion to include those tags, as I am not always outputting HTML.

    Also, unlike PHP, there is no <?coldfusion> tag, or anything similar that you use to declare that CF should process your code. All ColdFusion tags are prefixed with ‘cf’, and can be interspersed with regular HTML code. Keep in mind that in order to render output to the page, you must use the ‘<cfoutput>‘ tag. ie.

    <cfset variables.firstName = 'My Name' />
<html>
<head>
  <title>ColdFusion Sample</title>
</head>
<body>
 Hello <cfoutput>#variables.firstName#</cfoutput>
</body>
</html>
