Escaping the Pound sign

[TechDude]

I need to display the pound sign in a cfml document within a <cfoutput> tag, how do I escape the character so that cold fusion ignores it?

much thanks,

Do it twice...


##

Example:

<CFSET housenumber = &quot;8&quot;>
<CFOUTPUT>
<P>House ## #HouseNumber#
</CFOUTPUT>

It will output as:

House # 8

Hope that helps,

You can escaping the pound (#) sign by doubling it.

For Eg.

<cfoutput><font color=&quot;##fffff&quot;>#form.name#</font></cfoutput>
