<Para
<ParaLine
<String `Coffee prices for January'>
<ATbl 1> # Matches table ID in Tbl statement
> # end of ParaLine
> # end of Para
This example is in the sample file table.mif. If you open this file in FrameMaker, you’ll see that the anchor symbol
for the table appears at the end of the sentence. To place the table anchor between two words in the sentence, use the
following statements:
<Para
<ParaLine
<String `Coffee prices '>
<ATbl 1>
<String `for January'>
> # end of ParaLine
> # end of Para
Note that the ATbl statement appears outside the String statement. A ParaLine statement usually consists of
String statements that contain text interspersed with statements for table anchors, frame anchors, markers, and
cross-references.
About ID numbers
The table ID used by the ATbl statement must exactly match the ID given by the TblID statement. If it does not, the
MIF interpreter ignores the
ATbl statement and the table instance does not appear in the document. You cannot use
multiple
ATbl statements that refer to the same table ID.
An ID can be any positive integer from 1 to 65535, inclusive. The only other statements that require an ID are
AFrame
statements, linked
TextRect statements, and Group statements. For more information about these statements, see
“Graphic objects and graphic frames” on page 104.
Rotated cells
A table can have rotated cells and straddle cells. The following table includes rotated cells in the heading row:
In a MIF file, a cell that is rotated simply includes a
CellAngle statement that specifies the angle of rotation:
<Cell
<CellAngle 270>
<CellContent…>
> # end of Cell
Cells can only be rotated by 90, 180, or 270 degrees. Cells are rotated clockwise.
