If you're using MX (or BlueDragon), you can use the
getPageContext().include() function to prevent the CF parser from doing its
thing. For example, I have an article system where the article body is an
HTML file included in a ColdFusion template (which does tracking, security
checks, etc.). Where I'd want to include the HTML file, I simply put:
<cfset
getPageContext().include("/article_bodies/#Variables.article_body_file_name#")
/>
and the CF parser won't touch it. I have no idea at all if this works with
other file extensions, but I know it ignores HTML. In the interest of full
disclosure, I picked this tip up from Matt Liotta a while back.
