Description

CFML (an HTML markup language supported by Adobe ColdFusion's and Lucee's respective application servers) uses <!--- and ---> for comments. Having the existing HTML/XML comment <!-- and --> ligatures without their CFML counterparts makes it tough to read/work with CFML code with FiraCode, as only part of the comment identifier token is "ligaturized".

I'd love to have these added.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the existing HTML/XML comment ligature definitions and determine where the CFML delimiters belong; done means both render as complete ligatures without affecting the existing ligatures.
