SetOption
Script function world.SetOption Read about scripting Type Method Summary Sets value of a named world option Prototype `long SetOption(BSTR OptionName, long Value);` View list of data type meanings Description `Sets value of a world option. Many options are booleans (true or false). The number zero represents false (option not set) and the number one represents true (option set). You can use GetOptionList to get a list of the names of all possible options. Use SetAlphaOption to set alphanumeric options.` VBscript example

    world.setoption ("show_italic", 1)
Lua example
    SetOption ("show_italic", 1)
Lua notes
    For boolean options, Lua expects a numeric argument (as some options are numbers), so you need to use 0 for false, and 1 for true, rather than the words 'false' and 'true'.
