Question

I’ve get a variable that can contain a CF custom tag. E.g.

<cfset a = '<model:sparkline id="1"/>'/>

And I’d like that to be evaluated into HTML and outputted. Not sure how/if I can do this.

Answer 1

Sean Coyne‘s answer is the correct one, provided the import is included within the same context as the cfsavecontent tag:

<cfimport taglib="./tags" prefix="model">

<cfsavecontent variable="a">
    <model:sparkline id="1" />
</cfsavecontent>

<cfoutput>#a#</cfoutput>

Will result in the dynamically evaluated output of the sparkline customtag.
