There are several different types of text insets. The type of the text inset is identified and described by a
substatement:
Text created and maintained by an FDK client is described by the TiApiClient substatement. For infor-
•
mation on the statement, see the section "TiApiClient statement" on page 145.
A text flow imported from another FrameMaker document or from a document filtered by a
•
FrameMaker product is described by the TiFlow substatement. For information on the statement, see the
section "TiFlow statement" on page 146.
Plain text imported by reference is described by the TiText substatement. For information on the
•
statement, see the section "TiText statement" on page 147.
Text imported into a tabular format is described by the TiTextTable substatement. For information on
•
the statement, see the section "TiTextTable statement" on page 147.
Usage of some of the aspects of the TextInset statement is described in the following sections.
Text insets created with Publish and Subscribe
Macintosh versions of FrameMaker products support text and graphics Publish and Subscribe, which
allows applications to share information dynamically between FrameMaker documents.
You make text and graphics information available by creating a publisher. This creates a separate file, called
an edition, on disk. You can place a copy of the edition, called a subscriber, in a document, even if the edition
is on another disk or on another Macintosh on a network.
In MIF, subscribers and publishers are described by different statements.
Subscribers to text editions are described by TextInset statements.
•
Subscribers to graphics editions are described by ImportObject statements (see "ImportObject
•
statement" on page 120).
Publishers are described by DataLink statements (see "Publishers" on page 149).
•
If a text inset is created by subscribing to an edition, the TiMacEditionId statement provides information
for compatibility with Macintosh standards; integer points to the resource ID for the sect and alis resources
in the resource fork. This information is replicated inside the MIF description, but the information in the
resource fork takes precedence over the MIF data. If this field is missing, it uses the filename specified in
the TiSrcFile statement. For more information, see the chapter on Edition Manager in Inside Macintosh,
Volume VI.
If the source document for a text inset is not an edition, the TiMacEditionId statement is set to 0.
Record of the filter used to import text
The TextInset statement contains a record to identify the filter that was used to import text by reference.
FrameMaker products use the record to find the correct filter to use when updating the text inset.
The record is specified in the TiImportHint statement and uses the following syntax:
Note that the fields in the record are not separated by spaces. For example:
`0001XTNDWDBNMACP0002MS Word 4,5'
ADOBE FRAMEMAKER 6.0
