6.1 Understanding how to assign formats

You can assign output formats to elements based on any of the following:

Failing all of these, DITA2Go takes the element name itself as the format name, unless you have explicitly disabled this option (see §6.2 Specifying options for naming formats). In that event, the element gets the default format for its element type; see §11.2 Specifying properties of element types.

DITA2Go looks for a definition of the assigned output format in the Formats template chain; see §7.2 Working with format configuration files:
