This is what I do when writing code generators. I create templates and "escape" them so they do not execute like so
<cfsavecontent variable="bla"> <^cfoutput> <^input type="hidden" name="#MyPK#" value="##url.#MyPK###"> <^cfif action eq "edit_#query_name#"> <^input type="hidden" name="event" value="#query_name#_edited.##Section##.##nav##"> <^cfelse> <^input type="hidden" name="event" value="#query_name#_added.##Section##.##nav##"> <^/cfif> <^/cfoutput> </cfsavecontent> And then strip out the carets like so <cffunction name="CleanCode" displayname="CleanCode" access="public" hint="I Clean the Code before writing it to disk" output="false" returntype="string"> <cfargument name="MyCodeString" displayname="My Code String" hint="The Code to be cleaned" type="string" required="true" /> <cfreturnvar replace(arguments.MyCodeString,"<^","<","all") > </cffunction> If you want to learn more about code generation check out the code generator apps on RiaForge http://www.riaforge.org/index.cfm?event=page.search#generator I learned a lot from Brian Rinaldi's Illudium PU-36 Code Generator http://cfcgenerator.riaforge.org/ Look at the CFML templates that he uses if you are not familiar with XSL.
