Depends on what you mean you want to show. If you want to see "on-screen" a representation of the XML (for display), use htmleditformat() around whatever variable you want to show. This is a really old function, used originally for display of HTML or CFML. All it does is convert tag brackets into > and <, among other things.
But just beware that that's fine for displaying the XML in the browser: if you are outputting it to be read by some process that wants to read the real XML, then you do NOT want to use this. Hope that helps. /charlie From: ad...@acfug.org [mailto:ad...@acfug.org] On Behalf Of Michael Brown Sent: Thursday, January 27, 2011 9:48 PM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] XML data showing in dump but not in cfoutput Steve, I saw that, this is the way it's coming from the source. Is there any formatting tricks that can get it to show in the cfoutput? Thanks for your response!
