Rules for embedding comments in CFML code

New in ColdFusion MX: You can embed a CFML comment within the following ColdFusion elements:

A start tag
A tag
A custom tag
A function call
Variable text that is within pound signs.

ColdFusion ignores the comment. (In earlier releases, comments within these constructs were not allowed.)

The following examples show valid embedded CFML comments:

<cfif true eq true <!--- comment --->>
<cfoutput>myVar: #myVar<!--- comment within pound signs--->#</cfoutput>
#IncrementValue(120<!--- comment next to argument--->)#
<cf__comment_pos_05 <!--- comment within custom-tag brackets --->>
<cfset foo = evaluate("1 + 2<!--- comment --->")> 
isDefined(dynamicVariable<!--- comment --->)
#isDefined<!--- comment --->("MyConstruct")#
<cfset myLVar<!--- comment ---> = "myLVar&lt;!--- comment ---&gt;">

The following examples show invalid or erroneous embedded CFML comments:

isDefined("myVariable<!--- no comment within name string --->") 
is<!--- no comment within function name --->Defined("myVariable") 
<cfout<!--- no comment within tag name --->put "#myVariable#">
