Character statements
In version 5, the FDX, FDY, and FDW statements, which specify the horizontal kern value, the vertical kern
value, and the spread of characters, now measure in terms of the percentage of an em.
In previous versions, the FDX and FDY statements specified values in points. When reading MIF files from
previous versions, a FrameMaker product in version 5 will convert points into the percentage of an em.
Previous versions of FrameMaker products generate error messages when reading FDX and FDY state-
ments specifying percentages, since these products expect the kerning value in points.
Table statements
In version 5, tables can be aligned along the inside or outside edge (in relation to the binding of a book) of
a text column or text frame. As a result of this change, the TblAlignment statement now supports the
additional keywords Inside and Outside.
In addition, the existing TblTitleContent statement is now contained in the new TblTitle statement.
For more information about the MIF syntax for tables, see "Tbl statement" on page 88.
Document statements
In version 5, the DAcrobatBookmarksIncludeTagNames statement has been added under the Document
statement to support the conversion of paragraph tags to bookmarks in Adobe Acrobat. By default, this
statement is set to No.
Another new statement, DGenerateAcrobatInfo, sets print options to the required states for generating
Acrobat information. By default, this statement is set to Yes.
For Macintosh publishers, the new DLinkBoundariesOn statement specifies whether or not the bound-
aries of the publisher are visible.
For View Only documents, the default value of the DViewOnlySelect statement has changed from Yes to
UserOnly.
For text insets, the following statement has been renamed:
MIF 4.00
<DUpdateDataLinksOnOpen boolean>
Document and text flow statements
In version 5, the MIF statements describing interline spacing and padding, which appeared under the
Document statement in previous versions, have been replaced by corresponding statements under the
TextFlow statement:
MIF 4.00
<DMaxInterLine dimension>
<DMaxInterPgf dimension>
MIF 5.00
<DUpdateTextInsetsOnOpen boolean>
MIF 5.00
<TFMaxInterLine dimension>
<TFMaxInterPgf dimension>
