15.9.2.1 Understanding DITA topic type assignment precedence

The default type for every topic Mif2Go generates from your FrameMaker document is type concept. You can specify a different default, assign a topic type to a paragraph format, or use a marker to specify the type of an individual topic. Table 15-2 shows the precedence of topic type assignment methods.

Table 15-2 Precedence of DITA topic type assignment methods

Precedence	Method	Reference
Highest	DITAtopic marker	15.9.2.4
Intermediate	FrameMaker paragraph format	15.9.2.3
Lowest	Default topic type	15.9.2.2

If you specify a custom specialized topic type (a type other than topic, concept, task, reference, glossary, or map), you must provide a separate content-model configuration file for the specialized type, named DITAtopictype.ini; see §32 Working with content models.
