[<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="Yes|No"

            catchexceptionsbypattern="Yes|No">]

Controls whitespace, debugging output, exception handling, and request timeout parameters within ColdFusion templates.

When the enablecfoutputonly attribute is used, cfsetting tags must occur in matched pairs where both a <cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="Yes"> and a <cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="No"> are present. cfsetting tags may be nested any number of levels as long as there are always matching tag pairs. You don’t need to use paired cfsetting tags with the showdebugoutput, catchexceptionsbypattern, or requesttimeout attribute unless it is used in combination with an enablecfoutputonly attribute. Note that if you provide an end tag (</cfsetting>) for cfsetting, ColdFusion essentially ignores it as it neither functions nor throws an error.
