> 15 Converting to DITA XML > 15.9 Configuring DITA topics > 15.9.1 Designating starting points for DITA topics > 15.9.1.3 Preventing the first paragraph format from starting a topic
To prevent Mif2Go from forcing the first paragraph format in a FrameMaker file to become a topic start:
; ForceStartTopic = Yes (default, make the format of the first para a
; topic start with tag "title" at level 1 and parent "topic"), or No.
If the first paragraph format in a file is not assigned DITA level 1, or is not implicitly or explicitly mapped to the
<title>
element:
ForceStartTopic=Yes
,
Mif2Go forces these settings, overriding any other
mapping or level assignment; as a consequence, all subsequent paragraphs
with the same format in the same file also start topics.
ForceStartTopic=No
,
Mif2Go allows the paragraph to produce invalid DITA.
Best practice is to use the default setting (ForceStartTopic=Yes
),
and make sure the first paragraph format in each FrameMaker file is mapped
to title
and assigned level 1.
However, if your FrameMaker document uses a table
to hold the chapter title, you might have to set ForceStartTopic=No
,
and make sure the table anchor paragraph does not get converted. For
example, if you use paragraph format TableAnchor
for the anchor, set:
If there is a second such table in the chapter file, also set:
To omit the table tags for chapter-title tables:
