I would be interested to know why expressions within pound signs "impede code clarity". Seems perfectly clear to me.
Seems like a handy technique in some situations.

So what about this case? A loop variable nested in coldfusion variable.

Name (Author #j#):
#FORM.Author#j#0#

Affiliation:
#FORM.Affiliation#j#0#

Address:
#FORM.Address#j#0#

City/State/Zip:
#FORM.City#j#0#, #FORM.State#j#0# #FORM.Zip#j#0#

I'm interested to hear any coments.

In response to toniu27:
In ColdFusion 5 and earlier, using #1 + 2# caused an error.
In ColdFusion MX, such uses work, but we do not recommend using them as they can impede code clarity.
We will consider changing the statement in the documentation to better reflect this situation.

"Do not put complex expressions, such as 1 + 2 in pound signs"

Why?

It work perfect!

#1+2#
