• allpasses — do as many formatting passes as necessary to resolve all page numbering and other formatting issues that may require more than one traversal of the document. In general, documents with involved page numbering schemes or that contain indexes with multiple page numbers may require more than one formatting pass to resolve all issues.

◦ allpasses auto — Arbortext Editor will run as many formatting passes as it needs to reformat the document to accommodate any text or markup changes that may have been made, using the content of the existing .dvi file. If there have been no changes since the document was last formatted, no reformatting is done.

◦ allpasses force — that the entire document will be completely reformatted, even if a .dvi file already exists in your aptcache directory.

• onepass — do at most one formatting pass.

◦ onepass auto — one formatting pass will be run if the document has been modified since the last time the document was formatted. Otherwise, no formatting pass will be run.

◦ onepass force — one formatting pass will be run under all circumstances.

• The wait argument controls whether Arbortext Editor should wait for the format to complete before continuing to execute commands. In the examples below, the command waits until the testfile.sgm document is completely formatted.
