About Language Support 85
How a language is detected
On a document level, ColdFusion Studio determines the language based on the
document’s
DOCTYPE declaration. If there is no declaration, the program treats the
document content as HTML. In the case of XHTML, when you enable Options > Set
Document as XHTML, the program treats the document as XHTML even if there is
no change to the
DOCTYPE declaration.
On a character level, supported languages have their own start and end tags to alert
the program that the tag content is written in a specific language.
The status bar displays the language of the code in the current document.
