The ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML) consists of a set of tags you use in your ColdFusion pages to interact with data sources, manipulate data, and display output. ColdFusion Express supports a subset of CFML. Using CFML tags is very simple; tag syntax is much like HTML element syntax.
The following table provides brief descriptions of each CFML tag included with ColdFusion Express.
