The DITA2Go-supplied format templates include basic default properties for character and paragraph formats. If your project configuration file references the chain of format templates, these properties will be in effect for any text formats you define. You can change the defaults by including your own default values in your own format configuration file, referenced via [Templates]Formats; see.§7.2 Working with format configuration files.
