MIF Book File Statements
MIF book file overview
The following table lists the main statements in a MIF book file in the order that a FrameMaker product
writes them. You should follow the same order that a FrameMaker product uses, with the exception of the
macro statements and control statements, which can appear anywhere at the top level of a file. Each
statement, except the Book statement, is optional. Most main statements use substatements to describe
objects and their properties.
