Using MIF Statements
Body pages contain the text and graphics that form the content of the document. Master pages control the
layout of body pages. Each body page is associated with one master page, which specifies the number, size,
and placement of the page’s text frames and the page background, such as headers, footers, and graphics.
Text frames define the layout of the document’s text on a page. A text frame can arrange text in one or more
columns. In MIF, a text frame is represented by a
TextRect
statement. The dimensions of the text frame and
the number of columns in the text frame are specified by substatements under the
TextRect
statement.
A text flow describes the text contained in one or more text frames. In MIF, a text flow is represented by a
TextFlow
statement. The actual text of the document is specified by substatements under the
TextFlow
statement.
If the text flow has the autoconnect property (if the text flow uses the MIF statement
<TFAutoConnect
Yes>
), the text flow runs through a series of text frames; when you fill up one text frame, text continues
into the next text frame. Most documents have only one text flow, although you can create many separate
flows.
A FrameMaker product provides a default right master page for single-sided documents and default right
and left master pages for double-sided documents. A MIF file can either use the default page layout or
provide a custom layout.
Using the default layout
If you don’t need to control the page layout of a document, you can use the default page layout by putting
all of the document’s text into a
TextFlow
statement. When reading the file, the MIF interpreter creates
default master pages and body pages. The MIF file creates a single-column text frame for the body pages
to contain the document’s text. The MIF interpreter associates the text flow with this text frame.
The following example is in the sample file
defpage.mif
:
Untagged
background
text frame
Tagged
template
text frame
On body pages, you
type in a column of a
tagged text frame.
