What "standard ASCII characters" stands for in MIF reference?

Zeljko,

   The section you quoted does refer to the ASCII character set several times. However, the section on "MIF data items" defines a string to be "Left quotation mark ( ` ), zero or more standard ASCII characters (you can also include UTF-8 characters),

and a straight quotation mark ( ' )".

   I wonder if the references to ASCII are leftover from an earlier version of the MIF reference, before FM supported Unicode. Stefan, do you remember when MIF switched to UTF-8? Was it in FM8 which introduced FM support, or in FM9?

Hi,

this is only for the FrameMaker reserved characters.

You can use the Unicode hex notation or insert the characters directly. Like this:

<String `Руководство пользователя'>

or like this:

<String `\u0420 \u0443 \u043A \u043E \u0432 \u043E \u0434 \u0441 \u0442 \u0432 \u043E \u0020 \u043F \u043E \u043B \u044C \u0437 \u043E \u0432 \u0430 \u0442 \u0435 \u043B \u044F'>

(Please note the space between each Unicode definition.)
