Typically used in custom tags. --->
<cfif thisTag.executionMode is "start">

<cfdump var="#ancestorList#"><br><br>
<!--- Output current tag name --->
<cfoutput>This is custom tag #ListGetAt(ancestorList,1)#</cfoutput><br>
<!--- Determine whether this is nested inside a loop --->
<cfset inLoop = ListFindNoCase(ancestorList, "cfloop")>
<cfif inLoop>
Running in the context of a cfloop tag.<br>
