Hallo,

I am using ColdFusion code in the HTML Source Editor in Cascade and I am having problems with ColdFusion comments. I tried searching anything ColdFusion related before writing this but was unable to find anything relating to this problem.

An example of what I type in the HTML Source Editor is below:
<!--#START-CODE CF Code #END-CODE-->
<!--- CF Comment --->
<!--#START-CODE Back to CF Code #END-CODE-->

Once I "Update" the Content area and submit I go to recheck the source of the Content area and find that the ColdFusion comment has changed to the below:
#END-CODE--><!--- CF Comment =--><!--#START-CODE

The ---> changes to =-->

Thank you in advance.

   I suppose the "How do I..." would be:
   How do I add ColdFusion comments in Cascade's HTML Source Editor?

   Hi Alex,

   After publishing, this code should produce a proper ColdFusion comment:

   <!--#START-CODE CF Code #END-CODE-->
   <!--#START-CODE <! #END-CODE-->--- CF Comment ---<!--#START-CODE > #END-CODE-->
   <!--#START-CODE Back to CF Code #END-CODE-->
   

   Thanks!

   Thank you for the quick reply, Joel!

   I had to make a slight modification to your suggestion but it did work as intended.

   <!--#START-CODE CF Code #END-CODE-->
   <!--#START-CODE <!#END-CODE-->--- CF Comment ---<!--#START-CODE> #END-CODE-->
   <!--#START-CODE Back to CF Code #END-CODE-->
   

   Reason being the code suggested produced:
   <! --- CF CODE --- >
   But simply taking out the spaces was all that was needed.

   Thank you again!

   Joel,

   My coworker came up with another idea that shortens the comment.
   He suggested a <cfscript> around the comment and to use C-style comments:

   <cfscript> /* CF Comment */ </cfscript>
   

   This also seems to work from what we have just tried.

   Thanks for the followup Alex, I've added that workaround to CSCD-6775 as well.

   Thanks!
