Testing JavaScript Syntax in Arbortext Publishing Engine Interactive
You can launch Arbortext Publishing Engine Interactive to test the syntax of the code in your custom JavaScript applications. When you source your JavaScript file, be aware that Arbortext Publishing Engine Interactive will not actually run the application.
To test JavaScript applications using Arbortext Publishing Engine Interactive
1. Your JavaScript file should be in the PE_HOME\custom\init directory.

Any scripts in PE_HOME\custom\init are automatically sourced at startup. If the JavaScript application contains syntax or other errors, you'll automatically receive a message explaining the nature of the error.
