The MIF back-end to Jade, like the RTF and TeX back-ends, attempts to produce visual layout that approximates your formatting objects as closely as possible. This does not involve the ability to create language-specific constructs like text frames. To do conversion like this (which is what it sounds like you need - not layout), you probably want to go to a finer level of control and generate the output format directly. I've written a library for raw MIF generation that may be of some help. It's not the best-documented code in the world, but you're welcome to it, at <URL:http://www.oreilly.com/%7Ecrism/dsssl/orastyle/>. -Chris -- Christopher R.
