attribute n =" value "

Additional attributes and their associated values as required by the custom tag. Optional.

name=" name "

The name of the custom tag you want to use. The default location for custom-tag storage is \ cfroot \customtags. Custom tags residing in this location may be referenced with dotted notation. For example, a custom tag called MyCustomTag (MyCustomTag.cfm) residing in the default custom tags directory is referenced as MyCustomTag. The same tag residing under a subdirectory of the \customtags directory called \SpecialTags is referenced as SpecialTags.MyCustomTag. This dotted notation can reference custom tags residing in or any number of levels below the default customtags directory. Optional. If a value is specified for name, the template attribute isn’t used.
