MIF Reference
The Pgf statement contains a group of substatements that describe all of a paragraph’s properties. It has the following
syntax:
<Pgf
<property value>
<property value>
...
>
A Pgf statement is quite long, so learning how to relate its substatements to the paragraph’s properties may take some
practice. Usually a MIF statement name is similar to the name of the setting within a dialog box. The following
examples show the property dialog boxes from the Paragraph Designer with the related Pgf substatements.
Suppose you have created a paragraph format for a numbered list item with Basic properties defined as follows in
the Paragraph Designer.
