Read Original

This article by Ben Nadel discusses the importance of using self-closing syntax for ColdFusion custom tags to provide clarity and be explicit in code. He illustrates how nested <cfmodule> tags can be ambiguous and confusing due to ColdFusion's LIFO parsing, and demonstrates how self-closing tags paired with <cfexit> prevent unexpected behavior and make the code's intent clear to other developers.
