I disagree. First, if you want to increment variable, and keep it, then
yes, <cfset x = x+1> makes more sense. However, if you need the higher
value just temporarily (as I showed in the link demo), then it _does_
make sense. Yes, you can do:
<cfoutput>... #x+1#...</cfoutput>
But as for that being 'better' - it's a matter of style. Personally I
prefer the first case. I use the syntax above for more complex crap,
like alternating table row colours:
<td
class="tableRow#((qThreads.currentRow mod 2) + 1)#">#numMessages#</td>
