set entityoutputconvert= { on | off}

The entityoutputconvert option controls how Arbortext Editor writes out character entities it stores in special data structures. It works with the entityinputconvert and writenonasciichar options.

If entityoutputconvert is set to off, which is the default, Arbortext Editor writes out character entities in the same format as they were read in.

If entityoutputconvert is set to on, Arbortext Editor writes out character entities as characters, numeric character references, or entity references, depending on the value of the writenonasciichar option.
