I believe the following will work ---
<cffunction name="functionname" output="true">
<cfargument name="whatever" >
<cfset var whatever = arguments.whatever />
Logic stuff in here.
<cfsavecontent variable="outputstuff"><html><head></head> etc . your ourput
stuff goes here.</cfsavecontent>
<cfreturn outputstuff />
</cffunction>
Then in your calling page you have :
<cfset outputgenerator = createobject("component", "outputgenerator").init()
/>
<cfset myoutput = outputgenerator.functionname( whatever ) />
<cfoutput>#myoutput#</cfoutput>
This way you're not outputting code directly from the CFC, only generating
a string of output tags, which you're going to use in the calling page. it's
a couple of years since i've done it, but if my memory is serving me right,
that's how i solved the problem for a complex XML output cfc application,
where white space was really causing problems. You only have to limit the
white space in your CFC between the CFSAVECONTENT tags.
