Its probably not a good idea having CFML code in variables, because in order
to execute it you have to write it to a file (It would be nice if there was
an EvaluateCFML() that would eval tags).
Perhaps if you explained your larger problem the insight of this list may
suggest a better solution.
But for your original question, a good way to do it is to make a start tag
and end tag that will take text and turn it into a variable.
make a file called string2var.cfm
------------------------------------------
<cfif ThisTag.ExecutionMode is "End">
<cfparam name="attributes.v" default="variable">
<cfset "Caller.#attributes.v#" = ThisTag.GeneratedContent>
<cfset ThisTag.GeneratedContent = "">
</cfif>
------------------------------------------
now use it
<cf_string2var v="content">
<html>
<head>
<title>Hi</title>
</head>
<body>
yo
</body>
</html>
<cf_string2var>
<cfoutput>Content = #content#</cfoutput>

Subject: html and cold fusion in string
As part of trying to solve a larger problem I would like to put a lot (100+
lines) of html and cold fusion code (<CFLOOPS> etc... no SQL) into a string.
Two questions.
1. what's the best way of dealing with this?
<CFSET var1="<html><head>">
...
<CFSET var6="<td class=aaa width=450
align=center>#data.something[aaa].name#</td>">
<CFSET varTotal=var1 & " " & var2 ...>
2. Should I be trying this at all? :>
TIA
