Problem:

A couple of gotchas in the ColdFusion Functions docs that I ran across:

SpreadsheetGetCellFormula
Description
Gets the formula for an Excel spreadsheet object cell, or all formulas for the object.
Returns
If the parameters include the row and column: a string containing the comment.

I think you want the word "formula" at the end of that last line, not "comment" - looks like just a copy/paste problem from the previous doc section.

================================================================

SetVariable
Description
This function is no longer required in well-formed ColdFusion pages.
Sets a variable in the
name
parameter to the value of the
value
parameter.

You might want to be a bit more explanatory in the "no longer required in well-formed" statement - tell why that is the case and what the "well-formed" solution is.  The usage section has an example, but if someone is still using SETVALUE then they're not going to figure out from the example why their code is not longer correct.

=========================================================

SpanIncluding/SpanExcluding - pretty obtuse explanation!  And, like most of the docs examples, it shows code that uses the feature, but doesn't show the expected output, so there's no way from reading the example to further understand what it's trying to explain!

=========================================================
