#### 15.9.2.3 Specifying the DITA topic type with a paragraph format

To assign a DITA topic type to a FrameMaker paragraph format (for example):

[DITATopics]

; Frame para format = suggested topic type to use, if no DITATopic

; marker found.

Step = task

Syntax = reference

GlossItem = glossary

Assign a topic type to any paragraph format for which at least one of the following is true:

• The format is specific to a topic type other than the default topic type; see §15.9.2.2 Specifying a default DITA topic type.

• The format marks a transition from one topic type to another, even if the new topic is the default topic type.

• The format starts a topic for which the starting element is not <title>; for example, topics of type glossary (see §15.9.1.2 Identifying the starting element for glossary topics). If necessary, modify your FrameMaker document to use a dedicated format for such topic starts.

You can override the assigned topic type with a DITATopic marker placed in the topic.

If Mif2Go encounters in FrameMaker multiple paragraph formats in the same topic with different topic type assignments in [DITATopics], only the topic type assigned to the last paragraph format encountered before the end of the topic is considered.

If Mif2Go encounters in FrameMaker a paragraph format that has a topic type assignment in [DITATopics] and a conflicting element mapping in [DITAParaTags], the topic type takes precedence, and the tag instance is flagged as an error.
