The root element of a .mill document is the ml:documents element. Each .mill file can contain multiple ml:document entries, each representing a separate .pdf document to be generated. This allows you to generate more .pdf documents from within one .mill document.

Each ml:document can contain six main elements:

1. ml:encryption (zero or 1 occurence)
2. ml:viewerpreferences (zero or 1 occurence)
3. ml:navigation (zero or 1 occurence)
4. ml:meta-info (zero or 1 occurence)
5. ml:layout-master-set (1 occurence)
6. ml:page-sequence (1 or more occurences)

Only the ml:layout-master-set and the ml:page-sequence elements are required. All other tags are optional as they just define some extra features a .pdf document can have.

The ml:layout-master-set element defines <ml:simple-page-master> and/or <ml:page-sequence-master> elements which define the layout of a sequence of pages.

The ml:layout-master-set element is used to specify how to create a (sub-)sequence of pages within a document; for example, a chapter of a report.

The ml:page-sequence element contains a single ml:flow element and any ml:static-content elements describing the content of the page.
