Script or lucee tag?

Yup. I was replying to Igal, not you. That’s not made terribly (or “at all”, as far as I can tell) clear by the Discourse UI, sorry. I should have included some context. Although I thought it was pretty clear by what I said?

And Igal was probably harking back to the earlier conversation (still: around whether to have a prefix, a namespace, no namespace, etc.

But anyway, to answer your question… <cfscript> (and accordingly <:script>) is not distinguishing between HTML or PHP or some other language, it’s distinguishing between tags and… erm… script syntax within the same language.

So calling it “<:lucee>” doesn’t make any sense, as <:loop> is just as much part of .lucee as any given script construct (there’s a case in point: I needed to say “script construct” not “lucee construct” to disambiguate the two).

A better question should be whether script and tags should be allowed to cohabitate in the same file anyhow. However that’s an arg^h^h^hdiscussion for another day.
