I agree with u Matt but I think he's trying to say that any logic used to derive those html results are set in stone if the function is used to output html...Unless the function is solely used to format data which was generated from other function call(s).

It would make more sense to create specific CFCs or specific methods for each type of display you are interested in. Then you don't have to worry about adding additional display types in future causing problems for existing display types. Attempting to create generic objects that can handle current requirements as well as unanticipated future requirements is one of the easiest ways to destroy a software project.
