Studio's Help and Reference Functions

As previously mentioned, today's discussion provides only a basic overview of ColdFusion Studio. Fortunately, the application provides a very comprehensive, searchable help reference that details not only the Studio interface, but also ColdFusion Server, the CFML tagset, and HTML functions.

To access the reference section, choose the Help icon in the resource tabs near the bottom left of the screen. Studio presents an expandable help index in the left window.

To search the index for a keyword or words, click the Search icon (illustrated with a pair of binoculars) in the upper part of the resource window. Studio provides a search box where you can enter keywords to help you find a suitable help topic.
