MIF Reference
103
Pages
Pages in a MIF file are defined by a
Page
statement. A FrameMaker document can have four types of pages:
•
Body pages contain the document’s text and graphics.
•
Master pages control the appearance of body pages.
•
Reference pages contain boilerplate material or graphic art that is used repeatedly in a document, or custom
math elements.
•
Hidden pages contain hidden conditional text in a special text flow.
When FrameMaker writes a MIF file, it writes a sequence of numbered body pages. When you generate a MIF file,
you should only define one body page and allow the MIF interpreter to automatically create new body pages as
needed. For more information about using body pages in a MIF file, see
“Specifying page layout” on page 31
.
Page statement
The
Page
statement adds a new page to the document.
Page
statements must appear at the top level in the order
given in
“MIF file layout” on page 52
.
