MIF book file identification line
The MIF book file identification line must be the first line of the file with no leading white space.
Syntax
The
version
argument indicates the version number of the MIF language used in the file, and
comment
is a comment
showing the name and version number of the program that generated the file.
For example, a MIF book file saved in version 9 of FrameMaker begins with the following line:
<Book
9.00
> # Generated by version 9.0 of FrameMaker
MIF is compatible across versions, so a MIF interpreter should be able to parse any MIF file, although the results can
sometimes differ from the user’s intentions.
A MIF book file identification line is the only statement required in a MIF book file.
Book statements
A MIF file for a book contains statements specific to books (
BWindowRect
,
BookComponent
,
BookXRef
, and
BookUpdateReferences
), plus the following statements, which can also occur in a MIF file for a document:
Comment
,
Units
,
Verbose
,
PgfCatalog
, and
FontCatalog
,
ColorCatalog
, and
ConditionCatalog
.
BWindowRect statement
The
BWindowRect
statement defines the position of the book window on the screen. It can appear anywhere in the
file but normally appears just after the
Book
statement.
Syntax
PDF statements
The
PDFBookInfo
statement specifies the information to include in the Document Info dictionary when you save
the book as PDF. Each data entry consists of one
Key
statement, followed by at least one
Value
statement; you can
include as many
Value
statements as you like. FrameMaker ignores any
Key
that does not have at least one
Value
following it. MIF does not represent entries for
Creator
,
Creation Date
, or
Modification Date
.
For additional information and an example of the syntax for the
Key
and
Value
statements, see
