Matt's dead on. It really doesn't matter very much, anymore. It's a style preference.
That said, I would add that style is very important! The ability to scan a file and know what it's doing without guessing is an important thing. Having templates that match and create a cohesive feeling application is also important. With that, I'd say wrapping entire templates is ok so long as you don't force a lot of double-## escaping characters, because that looks ugly. Try to keep CFML out of your javascript except where it's necessary, because that looks ugly. Same for stylesheets, because ID selectors get double-hash marks, which removes you from your context. nathan strutz [www.dopefly.com] [hi.im/nathanstrutz] [about.me/nathanstrutz] On Tue, Jun 19, 2012 at 4:25 PM, Matt Quackenbush <[email protected]>wrote: > > Years ago it was much more performant to use the single tag wrapped around > everything.
