MIF Reference

248

Text inset and data link statements

In previous versions, Macintosh versions of FrameMaker allowed you to import text by reference with the Publish 
and Subscribe mechanism. The MIF 

DataLink

 statement described text that was published or subscribed.

In version 5, the capability to import text by reference, which creates a text inset, is available on all platforms. As a 
result of this new feature, the new 

TextInset

 statement replaces the 

DataLink

 statements for subscribers.

Note that the 

DataLink

 statements for publishers are still used.

The following table lists the old 

DataLink

 statements and the new 

TextInset

 statements that replace them.

If you open a 5.00 MIF file with text insets in a version 4 FrameMaker product, the older version of the product will 
strip out the text inset MIF statements. The text inset becomes plain text that cannot be updated. 

For more information about the MIF syntax for text insets, see 

“Text insets (text imported by reference)” on 

page 130

. For information about the MIF syntax for publishers, see 

“If the TiTblNumHdrRows substatement is not 

set to 0, the table has header rows. If the TiTblHeadersEmpty substatement is set to No, these rows are filled with 
imported text.” on page 136

.

Structured document statements

In version 5, FrameMaker does not support statements for structured documents, such as 

ElementDefCatalog

 and 

DElementBordersOn

. FrameMaker strips these statements when reading in a MIF file. When writing out a MIF file, 

FrameMaker does not write these statements.

FrameVector graphic format

The internal graphic format FrameVector is supported for imported vector graphics. The specifications for this facet 
are described in , “FrameVector Facet Format.” 

Changes between versions 3 and 4

This section describes the changes to MIF syntax between versions 3 and 4 of FrameMaker.

4.00 top-level MIF statements

The following table lists top-level statements introduced between versions 3 and 4 of FrameMaker.
