322 Chapter 2: ColdFusion Tags

If you nest cfsetting tags: to make HTML output visible, you must match each

enableCFoutputOnly = "Yes" statement with an enableCFoutputOnly = "No" statement. For

example, after five

enableCFoutputOnly = "Yes" statements, to enable HTML output, you

must have five corresponding

enableCFoutputOnly = "No" statements.

If HTML output is enabled (no matter how many

enableCFoutputOnly = "No" statements

have been processed) the first

enableCFoutputOnly = "Yes" statement blocks output.

Note: If the debugging service is enabled and showDebugOutput =" Yes", the IsDebugMode

function returns Yes; otherwise, No. ColdFusion MX 6.1 allows a </cfsetting> end tag; however,

this end tag does not effect processing. The cfsetting attributes affect code inside and outside the

cfsetting tag body. ColdFusion MX ignored code between cfsetting start and end tags.

Example

<p>CFSETTING is used to control the output of HTML code in ColdFusion pages.

This tag can be used to minimize the amount of generated whitespace.
