Chapter 3: MIF Document Statements

This chapter describes the structure of MIF document files and the MIF statements they can contain. Most MIF
statements are listed in the order that they appear in a MIF file, as described in the following section. If you are
looking for information about a particular statement, use this manual's statement index to locate it. If you are looking
for information about a type of object, such as a table or paragraph, use the table of contents to locate the MIF state-
ments that describe the object.

statements, which can appear anywhere at the top level of a file. Each statement, except the
optional. Most main statements use substatements to describe objects and their properties.
