Create an entire web page using cffile

I would like to create an entire web page using cffile..

it seems that the output attribute is where you put the content like:

output="this is a test."

Q: so how do you add the full .htm content inside .... output=""
... where there will be lots of other double quotes?

(if it involves 'escaping' characters - then I'll need some help with that.)

Also : is it possible that the content could be some data combined with an cfinclude - i get errors when i try this...

    cfsavecontent worked perfectly as you described it!!!

    Now, using cfsavecontent along with cffile, I can print hard copy static web pages like I want to!

    Thanks soooooo much!

    Out of curiosity, why would you want to do this? It seems as if creating a page via industry standards would be much simpler.

    Hi rmorgan,

    I have stuff stored in a data base and want to create real static full .htm pages from that data rather than to display in by dynamically loading cf data into 1 master page.
