Write Recovery File Every — Saves a document recovery file at the interval specified by Minutes. If you encounter an unexpected problem during your Arbortext Editor session, this recovery file may contain unsaved information for your document. The next time Arbortext Editor opens that document, it will prompt you about whether you want to open the recovery file and check its contents.
Minutes — Sets the interval for saving a recovery file.
Convert Character Entities on Save — Converts character entities to the special characters they represent in the saved document.
Write Non-ASCII Characters As — Controls how Arbortext Editor stores non-ASCII characters in the saved document. You can choose from:
Character Entity References — Stores non-ASCII characters as character entity references. If Arbortext Editor cannot find matching character entity references, it stores the non-ASCII characters as characters in the target encoding. If Arbortext Editor cannot find the characters in the target encoding, it stores the non-ASCII characters as numeric character references (the default).
Numeric Character References — Stores non-ASCII characters as numeric character references.
Characters — Stores non-ASCII characters as characters in the target encoding. If Arbortext Editor cannot find the characters in the target encoding, it stores the non-ASCII characters as numeric character references.
