Usage
The book file inherits the Element Catalog from the document used to generate the book file or from a document
given as the source for the Import>Element Definitions command. In a MIF file, you should copy the Element
Catalog from one of the structure documents included in the book.
BookSettings statement
The
BookSettings
statement contains the definitions of all elements in the book file. A book file can have only one
BookSettings
statement. It normally appears near the beginning of the file. The statements in the
BookSettings
statement correspond to statements in the
BookSettings
statement, except that they begin with the letter
B
instead
of the letter
D
.
