##### 27.5.2.1 Understanding title assignment precedence

You can specify the HTML page title for a particular output file more than one way. For example, in general you might want to use the paragraph-format method (which applies to all files), then override that method with a Title marker or a [Titles] assignment for selected files. Table 27-1 shows which method takes precedence if more than one method applies to a given output file.

Table 27-1 Precedence of HTML page titles

Precedence | Method | Comments
Highest | [Titles] | Titles assigned in this section cannot be overridden
Intermediate | [HTMLParaStyles] or Title, Config, or HTMConfig marker | If you use both methods for a given split or extract part, whichever occurs first in the source file (the Title, Config, or HTMConfig marker or an instance of the Title paragraph format) takes precedence
Lowest | [HTMLOptions] | Any other method overrides an [HTMLOptions]Title value

Default title

If you do not specify any page titles, the default title for each output file is Test File from DITA2Go; any other title specification overrides this default. If some of your output files show Test File from DITA2Go as the title, this means you did not manage to specify titles for those files. See §27.5.2.6 Assigning a default title.
