Is there any way to specify which tags get which colors for HTML tags (and to use this within a cfm page)
If CFEclipse, you could specify <table> tags get "green", <input> tags get "orange", etc, but I'm not finding this capability in CFBuilder. It seems to be an all or nothing deal (unless there's a way to specify the "keywords" within HTML -> Editors -> HTML -> Colors in preferences as is in some of the other Editors in CFBuilder)

Sadly, no. CFB uses eclipse's colorization, which sucks. CFEclipse rolled their own, which doesn't suck.

Given they lifted the snippets from CFE, I wonder why they didn't lift the colourisation too?

Don't know. CFE's colorization was developed before eclipse (aptana?) added the new colorization system which was supposed to be super advanced, though it really lacks. I guess it works well enough for Java code, but diverse tag based code suffers.

So - like - "not fit for purpose" then?

That's my take. I talked with a CFB dev at CFUnited '09 about this issue and it didn't sound like adding any DW/CFE'sh colorization was on the radar at that time.
If there's not already one, I'll submit a feature request at http://cfbugs.adobe.com

Looks like one was already there: http://cfbugs.adobe.com/bugreport/flexbugui/cfbugtracker/main.html#bugId=79505
vote if you care about HTML tag colors...

Yeah, I was hoping that maybe there was something with the Aptana stuff that could get it working (either something I could modify or that someone else may have written that I could import)
