Verbose statement
The Verbose statement turns on a debugging mode for MIF. It can appear anywhere at the top level or
within any statement.
within any statement.
Syntax
Usage
When Verbose mode is on, the MIF interpreter writes detailed stream of processing descriptions to a
window. In UNIX versions of FrameMaker products, these descriptions appear in the window from which
the FrameMaker product was started. To display messages in Windows and Macintosh versions, you must
turn on Show File Translation Errors in the FrameMaker product’s Preferences dialog box. The messages
appear in a console window in Windows and in an Error Log window on the Macintosh. The processing
descriptions can be quite long, but may be essential for debugging a program that creates MIF for input to
a FrameMaker product. A Verbose statement can occur unnested or within markup statements, as
explained later in this chapter. A Verbose statement remains in effect until the interpreter encounters
another Verbose statement that changes the setting.
