MIF Reference

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 FrameMaker 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 “Specifying page layout” on page 31.
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 52.
