that define the properties and tag for each character format.

ments that define the properties and tag for each table format.

ments that define which colors are visible in each color view.

statements that define each variable.
MarkerTypeCatalog
Defines a catalog of user-defined markers for the current document. The MarkerType-
Catalog
statement contains MarkerTypeCatalog statements that specify each
user-defined marker.
XRefFormats
Defines cross-reference formats. The XRefFormats statement contains XRef-
Format
statements that define each cross-reference format.
Document
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.
BookComponent
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.
InitialAutoNums
Provides a starting value for the autonumber series in a document.
Dictionary
Lists allowed words in the document.
AFrames
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 statement
identifies where a specific anchored frame appears in a text flow; it need only supply the
frame’s ID number.
Tbls
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 docu-
ment contents are described, the MIF file must include a short
ATbl statement that corre-
sponds 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.
Page
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 FrameMaker 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 document as needed.
TextFlow
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
ParaLine statements are not significant because the MIF interpreter wraps the
contents of
ParaLine statements into paragraphs.
