#xmlExtractList(EntryXML, "email")#

    do you have a tool that highlights that code like studio for you? Looking at the markup, I hope you don’t do it manually…

    ha, yeah, it’s a real pain to have to type my code like that.. <<span class=”cfTag”>cfloop</span> <span class=”cfAttr”>index</span> …

    Seriously, I use a great plugin from Sean Voisen and Mike Jewell. I had to write a CF syntax file but since I already compiled one for EditPlus it was easy to convert to Beautifier.
