if I understand correctly. The application might be.
<cf_products method=display query=all>
#itemid# #productname#<br>
img src=#productimage#
<hr>
</cf_products>
== products.cfm ==
<cfif thistag.executionblah is 'start'>
Our Product Catalog.<br>
<cfelse>
<cfquery blahbah/>
<cfoutput>
#thistag.generatedcontent#
</cfoutput>
</cfif>
Hmmm. I could see a use for this. output specified within the body of a tag.
Don't think it works though ... (hang on I will try it later), maybe this is
a wish list item.
Right now you have to ???? correct me if I am wrong ???? specify the
variables as caller.varname to pass back to the calling template from the
customtag. and the assigned variables would be available throughout the
entire document (or even possibly overwrite existing variables. yikes.) I
like this wishlist approach.

Thanks for your reply, Larry.
ThisTag.GeneratedContent works but not very well in the situation below.
Since it fails to encounter any tags it literally passes everything between
the opening and closing tags without processing the embedded variable. Hence
the pound signs are literally sent to the custom tag template. One way I
found to get around this is to wrap <cfoutput></cfoutput> tags immediately
around the text string like this:
<cf_customTag>
<cfoutput>
Long #var# string with variables embedded...
</cfoutput>
</cf_CustomTag>
But this defeats the purpose. How can we solve this problem without using
additional nested tags inside the custom tags?

Are you looking for thistag.generatedcontent?

<<< [EMAIL PROTECTED] 5/12 8:07p >>>
For instance if I use a custom tag like this:
<cfset var = "text">
<cf_customTag>
Long #var# string with variables embedded...
</cf_CustomTag>
How do I capture what is nested within the tags into a variable in custom
tag template? Will it be possible to resolve the string so that a variable
can be assigned "Long text string with variables embedded..." within the
template?
Does anyone have any ideas?
