Chapter 4: MIF Book File Statements
MIF book file overview
The following table lists the main statements in a MIF book file in the order that Adobe® FrameMaker® writes them.
You should follow the same order that FrameMaker 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.
