If you open
pgfcat.mif
in FrameMaker, you’ll see that the Paragraph Catalog contains a single paragraph format
called 1Heading. If you supply a Paragraph Catalog, the paragraph formats in your catalog replace those in the
default catalog; they do not supplement the default formats.
If you do not supply a Paragraph Catalog in a MIF file, the MIF interpreter provides a default Paragraph Catalog with
predefined paragraph formats.
If a
Pgf
statement provides only the name of a paragraph format, the MIF interpreter supplies default values for the
rest of the paragraph properties when it reads in the MIF file.
Applying a paragraph format
To apply a format from the Paragraph Catalog to a paragraph, use the
PgfTag
statement to include the format tag
name within the
Para
statement. For example, to apply the previously defined format 1Heading to a paragraph, use
the following statements:
<Para
<PgfTag `1Heading'>
<ParaLine
<String `This line has the format called 1Heading.'>
>
# end of ParaLine
>
# end of Para
To apply a format from the Paragraph Catalog and then locally override some properties, use a partial
Pgf
statement
within the
Para
statement. The following MIF example applies the paragraph format 1Heading, then changes the
alignment:
<Para
<PgfTag `1Heading'>
<Pgf
<PgfAlignment Center>
>
# end of Pgf
<ParaLine
<String `This line is centered.'>
>
# end of ParaLine
>
# end of Para
To locally define a paragraph format, include a complete
Pgf
statement within the
Para
statement:
<Para
<Pgf
<PgfTag `2Heading'>
<PgfUseNextTag Yes >
<PgfNextTag `Body'>
<PgfAlignment Left >
<PgfFIndent 0.0">
<PgfLIndent 0.0">
