Description
Describes table formats. The TblCatalog statement contains TblFormat statements
that define the properties and tag for each table format.
Describes color views for the document. The Views statement contains View state-
ments that define which colors are visible in each color view.
Defines variables.The VariableFormats statement contains VariableFormat state-
ments that define each variable.
Defines a catalog of user-defined markers for the current document. The MarkerType-
Catalog statement contains MarkerTypeCatalog statements that specify each
user-defined marker.
Defines cross-reference formats. The XRefFormats statement contains XRefFormat
statements that define each cross-reference format.
Controls document features such as page size, margins, and column layout. Because
the MIF interpreter assumes the same page defaults as the New command, this section
is necessary only if you want to override those default settings.
Provides the setup information for files generated from the document. BookCompo-
nent statements describe the filename, filename suffix, file type, and paragraph tags
or marker types to include.
Provides a starting value for the autonumber series in a document.
Lists allowed words in the document.
Describes all anchored frames in the document. The AFrames statement contains
Frame statements that define the contents ID number of each anchored frame. Later
in the MIF file, where the document contents are described, the MIF file must include
an AFrame statement that corresponds to each Frame statement. The AFrame state-
ment identifies where a specific anchored frame appears in a text flow; it need only sup-
ply the frame's ID number.
Describes all tables in the document. The Tbls statement contains Tbl statements that
define the contents of each table and its ID number. Later in the MIF file, where the
document contents are described, the MIF file must include a short ATbl statement that
corresponds to each Tbl statement. The ATbl statement identifies where a specific
table appears in a text flow; it need only supply the table's ID number.
Describes the layout of each page in the document. The description includes the layout
of each page, the dimensions of the text frames, and the objects and other graphic
frames on that page. A MIF file created by a FrameMaker product includes a Page
statement for each page in the document, including the master pages. When you write
an import filter, you can omit Page statements; the MIF interpreter repaginates the doc-
ument as needed.
Represents the actual text in the document. Within TextFlow statements, the text is
expressed in paragraphs which in turn contain paragraph lines. Line endings of Para-
Line statements are not significant because the MIF interpreter wraps the contents of
ParaLine statements into paragraphs.
