Filter By Attribute
Elements in a structured document can have one or more attributes associated with them. Using FrameMaker, you
can filter a structured document based on the value of these attributes.
All MIF 8 documents contain a catalog of predefined attribute values. If no values are defined, the catalog remains
empty. Each definition in a catalog includes an attribute tag (
AttributeTag
) and the corresponding list of values
(
AttributeValue
).
DefAttrValuesCatalog statement
The
DefAttrValuesCatalog
statement is used to define the contents of the Defined Attribute Values catalog. A
MIF file can contain one
DefAttrValuesCatalog
statement only.
Syntax
