save
save [-pi | -nopi]
save saves the document that is being edited.
To safeguard against data loss, Arbortext Editor first saves the file to a temporary location; if space is available, the original file is deleted and the temporary file is renamed with the name of the original file.
save has the following options:
• -pi — Saves Arbortext Editor processing instructions with the document.
This is the equivalent of setting the
set writepi command to
-all.
• -nopi — Removes all Arbortext Editor processing instructions (except change tracking processing instructions) and may be useful for exporting the document to another system.
This is the equivalent of setting the set writepi command to -none.
Arbortext Editor processing instructions include those representing the _link and _font tags, user-defined tags, cursor location, detailing state. If you want to save an HTML file with no PIs, you can also use the > option that is available when editing an HTML 4.0 file.
If the
save,
write or
save_as commands do not specify whether to write
Arbortext Editor processing instructions, they use the value of the
set writepi command.
Examples

You can also use the
set writepi command to specify whether the
write,

save_as commands save
Arbortext Editor processing instructions.
