What is the purpose of the `<cfoutput>` tag in ColdFusion templates?
The `<cfoutput>` tag in ColdFusion templates serves as the mechanism for displaying dynamic content generated by ColdFusion code to the user's web browser. It's essentially the 'print' statement of ColdFusion, taking variables, expressions, or ColdFusion code and converting their results into HTML that is sent to the client. Without `<cfoutput>`, the results of your ColdFusion code would remain invisible to the user. ColdFusion is a server-side scripting language, meaning the code executes on the server *before* the webpage is sent to the user's browser. The browser only receives HTML. `<cfoutput>` bridges this gap....
