Ferg, This is similar to the Smarty templating system, which I think is just great by the way. The thing is that since ColdFusion, is itself, a templating language, why would anybody have ever created a templating language for ColdFusion? It's totally redundant. Doing web templates in plain PHP totally sucks but using Smarty, templating is just like ColdFusion - easy.
The thing is that in ColdFusion, we have no way to securely allow someone the ability to design a template without giving them full access to the CFML language in which they can for example... - Dump out the request variables - Run queries against your data sources - Write infinite loops - Read files in the file system - Delete things... The list goes on and on. Using a CFML abstraction, we can eliminate the possibility of this happening... it's a "safe" tool for users who want to create design templates in your system.

I've used a couple apps built around the Smarty template engine and have been rather impressed. I've yet to research this CF version very much, but I plan to take a look at it as soon as I can get a chance. --Ferg This electronic message transmission contains information from Collegiate Funding Services, LLC or its subsidiaries or affiliates that may be confidential or privileged.
