I tried this with a small application that I wrote a little while back. It
worked but my biggest question is about performance. I remember hearing at
the conference that it is better to have one CFOUTPUT encapsulate larger
blocks of code than to have a lot of "little" CFOUTPUT's all over the place.
However, there was a limit to where that was effective. After a certain
point, encapsulating too much code at one time would cause performance
degradation.
Not sure how much of a performance hit you would take by doing this on a
large scale website but the convenience is GREAT!!

I'm curious about this one... I mean, I'm thinking, this is an issue that I
do think could be considered as part of the Fusebox methodology.
I see four possibilities here:
1: Apply CFOUTPUTs tersly, only around specific portions of code that need
it
2: Apply CFOUTPUTs around large blocks of code, which may or may not need it
everywhere
3: Apply CFOUTPUTs around the entire template, with only CFMAILs and other
anti-CFOUTPUT functions being left out.
4: Apply CFOUTPUTs at the index.cfm level, and explicitly escape out
anti-CFOUTPUT tags by starting with </CFOUTPUT> and ending with <CFOUTPUT>
to restart the CFOUTPUT string
Now, lets think of it like this.... here is an idea, so I'm lookin' for
input, advice, what-have-you...
A Proposal For Structuring a Fusebox App So That Everything Is Implicitly
CFOUTPUTted
PART 1: The Index.cfm file
You take your index.cfm, and make it look like this...
<CFOUTPUT>
<CFSWITCH ....>
{all the CFCASE statements for fuseactions}
</CFSWITCH>
</CFOUTPUT>
PART 2: Working with Query Recordsets
Tell yourself and anybody concerned that they are to use <CFLOOP QUERY=..>
instead of <CFOUTPUT QUERY=..>
PART 3: Dealing with anti-CFOUTPUT code, such as CFMAIL
Encapsulate all code by STARTING with a </CFOUTPUT> and ENDING with a
<CFOUTPUT> to restore the CFOUTPUT nest.
The End...
