Actually the solutions was adding an extra pair of
<cfoutput></cfoutput> in between the tags. Meaning when
writing the file, just write the file content this way
<p><cfoutput>#article_title#</cfoutput></p>
<p><cfoutput>#article_cont#</cfoutput></p>
for some reason when done this way CF ignores the
<cfoutput query="">
Meaning it brings back the query content but does not perform
the output, in this case.
the URL is actually blocked because is on my local PC,
sorry.
