Filter By Attribute
Elements in a structured document can have one or more attributes associated with them. Using FrameMaker, you
can filter a structured document based on the value of these attributes.
All MIF 8 documents contain a catalog of predefined attribute values. If no values are defined, the catalog remains
empty. Each definition in a catalog includes an attribute tag (
AttributeTag) and the corresponding list of values
(
AttributeValue).
DefAttrValuesCatalog statement
The DefAttrValuesCatalog statement is used to define the contents of the Defined Attribute Values catalog. A
MIF file can contain one
DefAttrValuesCatalog statement only.
Syntax
All MIF 8 documents contain a catalog of predefined filters.
DefAttrValues statement
The DefAttrValues statement is used to define a set of attributes with relevant values.
