Am I the only one who does not take particularly kindly to the new DTML syntax? Well, I guess I might be. :) Before you bring forth the lynching implements, though, hear me out.

Imho, Cold Fusion's CFML syntax does one notch better than DTML because it only devotes two characters ("CF") to distinguishing Cold Fusion tags from other markup, so you have keywords such as "cfquery", "cfoutput", and so on. Easily recognizable, short, sweet, easy to type. On the other hand, it uses a proprietary syntax for in-place variable insertion (eg., "#Name#" inserts the variable Name), so it's not all bliss.
So you suggest using somethig like "dtif" or "dt-if" ? -Petru
