### 15.9.5 Specifying alternate titles for a DITA topic

To include an alternate title for a topic, you can use either of the following:

Dedicated paragraph format

FrameMaker marker

The text of an alternate title, whether provided via paragraph format or marker, appears as follows:

Navigation title: | navtitle attribute in the map <topicref>
Search title: | <searchtitle> element in the <topicmeta> of the map’s <topicref>

In addition, both appear as elements in the topic itself, in a <titlealts> block immediately following the <title> element. Mif2Go provides the <titlealts> wrapper for alternate titles.

Dedicated paragraph format

To use a dedicated paragraph format for an alternate title, place a paragraph in that format after the main title paragraph, and map the format to the alternate-title element. For example:

[DITAParaTags]

; Frame para format (wildcards OK) = DITA element

NavHead = navtitle

Search = searchtitle

See §15.4.3 Mapping paragraph formats to DITA block elements.

FrameMaker marker

To use a marker for an alternate title, insert a DITANavTitle marker, a DITASearchTitle marker, or both, in the <title> paragraph. Make the content of the marker the text of the alternate title, which becomes the content of the navtitle attribute or <searchtitle> element.
