If the pages are really .html and you don't have the extension mapped to CF,
then it won't execute. If you pull the code out of a database, or use
CFFILE to read files containing code then <cfoutput> it to the page, it
won't execute.
Now what becomes an issues is how to get the code to _display_ correctly on
browser end. If you had something like <cfset x = 1> within your page, and
it doesn't get executed server-side, a browser will see this as an HTML tag
(because of the brackets) and will discard it as an errant tag. You need to
use something like HTMLCodeFormat(), which escapes the angle brackets.
Beyond that, check the tag gallery. There may be custom tags that also
color code the CF ala Studio, which would make displaying the code that much
nicer.
