MIF Reference

243

To improve handling of bookmarks hypertext links within and across PDF files, FrameMaker now stores reference 
data within documents. 

PgfReferenced

 identifies each paragraph that is marked as a named destination; 

Elemen-

tReferenced

 similarly identified structure elements. If you like, you can specify that the Save As PDF function 

creates a named destination for every paragraph in the document; this is done via 

FP_PDFDestsMarked

 within the 

Document

 statement. 

Books

Version 6.0 of FrameMaker has brought significant change to books. The book window now can display the filename 
of each book component, or a text snippet from the component’s document. In MIF, 

BDisplayText

 determines 

which type of information to display. 

A book can also be view-only; MIF now includes 

BViewOnly

, 

BViewOnlyWinBorders

, 

BViewOnlyWinMenuBar

, 

BViewOnlyPopup

, and 

BViewOnlyNoOp

 statements to express whether a book is view-only, and how it should 

appear.

Book Components

Book components store numbering properties to use when generating a book. The following table shows the new 
MIF statements for managing different types of numbering:

Documents

Because there are new numbering properties for documents and books, documents now have new numbering state-
ments. The following table shows the new MIF statements for managing different types of numbering in documents:

Changes between version 5 and 5.5

This section describes changes to MIF syntax between versions 5 and 5.5 of FrameMaker.
