Using CFFILE to create HTML page?

[Steve Grosz]

Is it possible to use the CFFILE tag to specify that a HTML file be
created, based on user input? I'm trying to allow users to create a
'diary' of sorts. The file will be saved to the servers hard drive, but
when they pull it back up, I want to have H1 and other tags formatted
nicely.

I haven't been able to do that with just a plain text file.

Just write all the tags and content as a variable and then use cffile action="write" and save it as an html file.

A nice tip is to use <cfsavecontent>, <cfset> and <cffile> together - then you
can create almost anything, including cfm-files with cf-code in them.

<cfsavecontent variable="test">
<h1>This is my heading</h1>
<strong>this is my my bolde text</strong>
<cfsavecontent>

<cffile action="WRITE" file="X:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyFile.html" output="#test#">
