Hi Ashona - You can use the writeunspecifiedattrs setting, but there are caveats...
"set writeunspecifiedattrs={ none | fixed | all}
The
set writeunspecifiedattrs command controls the writing of unspecified attributes. An unspecified attribute is any element attribute that does not have a user-defined value. Attributes that have a default value set in the Document Type Definition (DTD) but have not been set using the Arbortext Editor user interface are also considered unspecified.
The default setting is none, which means that Arbortext Editor will not write unspecified attributes when saving a file. When set to fixed, Arbortext Editor writes only the unspecified fixed attributes when saving a file. When set to all, Arbortext Editor writes all unspecified attributes, except for CDATA attributes, when saving a file. Note that the fixed and all settings both significantly increase the size of the written file.
Arbortext recommends that you do not use this command unless you need to write an instance of a file for an application that does not read attributes from a DTD. If you save a document with unspecified attributes and then re-open the document with Arbortext Editor, Arbortext Editor will display the attributes as local modifications."
