Why use XSLT or Velocity when ColdFusion already has a much more powerful and extensible templating language built in?

CFTemplate is a templating language built on ColdFusion that allows you to use the power of ColdFusion to generate anything from documentation to ColdFusion code (or Ruby, Java, XML . . .). It allows you to use any type of data (recordset, iterating business object, XML, etc.) and any valid ColdFusion code within your templates.

For generation time tags just replace < with <<, > with >> and for generation time variables just replace # with % (and as with # signs, if you need a real % sign, just escape it by putting %%).

CF Template is a single cfc that just takes a template filepath, a destination filepath, a scratchpad filepath (for performing the transformation) and metadata (any data type - object, struct, array, XML, etc.) and performs the transformation. Simple, but very useful.

This can be used on its own or as part of cfgen for a complete application generation solution.
