Pages - Adobe FRAMEMAKER 6.0 Manual

Pages

Pages in a MIF file are defined by a Page statement. A FrameMaker document can have four types of pages:
Body pages contain the document's text and graphics.
•
Master pages control the appearance of body pages.
•
Reference pages contain boilerplate material or graphic art that is used repeatedly in a document, or
•
custom math elements.
Hidden pages contain hidden conditional text in a special text flow.
•
When a FrameMaker product writes a MIF file, it writes a sequence of numbered body pages. When you
generate a MIF file, you should only define one body page and allow the MIF interpreter to automatically
create new body pages as needed. For more information about using body pages in a MIF file, see "Speci-
fying page layout" on page 41.
Page statement
The Page statement adds a new page to the document. Page statements must appear at the top level in the
order given in "MIF file layout" on page 66.
