With RTF, which is made up of ASCII text, you can just insert the CFML tags,
functions, and expressions you want to use. Here's an example:
<CFQUERY NAME="MyQuery" ...>
...
</CFQUERY>
<CFHEADER NAME="Content-disposition" VALUE="inline; filename=payme.rtf">
<CFCONTENT
TYPE="application/msword">{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl
{\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Arial;}}
\viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs20 Hi, <CFOUTPUT>#MyQuery.UserName#</CFOUTPUT>!\par
\par
You now owe $<CFOUTPUT>#MyQuery.CurrentDebt#</CFOUTPUT>. Please pay at once,
or we'll break your legs.\par
}
Note that the line directly preceding the RTF text is the CFCONTENT tag. For
more info about using RTF with CF, you can take a look at this:
