#### 15.9.2.2 Specifying a default DITA topic type

By default, every topic generated is of type concept. However, you can specify a different topic type as the default: topic, task, reference, glossary, or a custom type.

To specify a different default topic type:

[DITAOptions]

; DefTopic = name of topic type to use, default "concept"

DefTopic = topic

You can override the default topic type with a DITATopic marker in the topic, or by assigning a different topic type to a FrameMaker paragraph format used in the topic.

To specify a different default topic type for a given FrameMaker chapter, include the DefTopic setting in a chapter configuration file named for the FrameMaker file; see §33.1.1 Providing configuration files for individual chapters.
