set gentextcurrent= { on | off}

When set to on, marks generated text for the current view as being up-to-date with regard to changes made in the document.

When Arbortext Editor detects generated text as current, setting this option to on does nothing. Arbortext Editor automatically detects whether generated text is current or not. (When a document is changed, generated text is marked as not current. When generated text is updated, it is marked as current.)

You may want to set it to on if changes to the environment are made that affect generated text. For example when an ACL variable that is tested by a stylesheet is altered.

You may want to set gentextcurrent to off in a formatcontinuehook function to force generated text to be regenerated before a subsequent formatting pass.

Because this command works on the current view, and document publishing is done in a separate view, set gentextcurrent does not affect the generated text for formatted output except in contexts where the print view is the current view. These contexts include the formatcontinuehook and the userulehook.

This option does not alter whether partial generated text auto-updates are performed.

If you want to force generated text to be regenerated before additional formatting passes are performed, set gentextcurrent to off.
