MIF Reference

Usage
If you don’t include a PgfCatalog statement, the MIF interpreter uses the paragraph formats defined in NewTem-
plate
. (For information on defaults specified in templates, see page 3.) If you include PgfCatalog, paragraph
formats in the MIF file replace default formats. The MIF interpreter does not add your paragraph format to the
default Paragraph Catalog, although it provides default values for unspecified properties in a paragraph format (see
“Creating and applying paragraph formats” on page 12).
Pgf statement
The Pgf statement defines a paragraph format. Pgf statements can appear in many statements; the statement
descriptions show where
Pgf can be used.
The
Pgf statement contains substatements that set the properties of a paragraph format. Most of these properties
correspond to those in the Paragraph Designer. Properties can appear in any order within a
Pgf statement, with the
following exception: the
PgfNumTabs statement must appear before any TabStop statements.
