Examples
Sample code using the cftimer tag

Begin some long running process ...
<cfset sleep(2000)>
done.
</cftimer>

Expected Result: The time elapsed while executing the code inside the <cftimer> block should be displayed inline.

cftimer(label = "Nap time", type="outline"){
writeoutput("Begin some long running process ... ");
sleep(2000);
writeoutput("done.");
}
