Adobe FRAMEMAKER 10 - Global document properties

ADOBE FRAMEMAKER 10
MIF Reference
84
Usage
XRefName supplies the cross-reference format name, which is used later by the XRef statement to apply a format to
the text of the cross-reference. The
XRefDef statement supplies the cross-reference format definition, which is a
string that contains text and cross-reference building blocks.
For more information about cross-references and their building blocks, see your user’s manual or the online Help
system.
Global document properties
A FrameMaker document has properties that specify the document page size, pagination style, view options, current
user preferences, and other global document information. The user sets these properties by using various
commands, such as the Document command, the View command, the Normal Page Layout command, and others.
In a MIF file, global document properties are specified as substatements in a
Document statement. If you do not
provide these property statements, the MIF interpreter assumes the properties specified in
NewTemplate. (For infor-
mation on defaults specified in templates, see page 3.
)
The
BookComponent statement specifies setup information for files generated from the document. The Dictionary
statement contains the user’s list of allowed words for the document.
Document statement
The Document statement defines global document properties. A document can have only one Document statement,
which must appear at the top level in the order given in “MIF file layout” on page 52.
A
Document statement does not need any of these property substatements, which can occur in any order. It can also
contain additional substatements describing standard equation formats. (See , “MIF Equation Statements.”)
Document File Info
For versions 7.0 and later, FrameMaker stores file information in packets (XMP) of encoded data. This data can be
used by applications that support XMP. In MIF these data packets are expressed in the <DocFileInfo> statement.
This data is generated by FrameMaker in an encoded form, and you should not edit the information. Note that this
information corresponds to the values of fields in the File Info dialog box. It also corresponds to the data in the
<PDFDocInfo> statement. However, unlike <PDFDocInfo>, this XMP data also includes the values of the File Info
dialog box default fields for
Creator, Creation Date, and MetaData Date.
