24.8.1.3 Preventing the first paragraph format from starting a topic

To prevent DITA2Go from forcing the first paragraph format in a file to become a topic start:

[DITAOptions]
; ForceStartTopic = Yes (default, make the format of the first para a
;  topic start with tag "title" at level 1 and parent "topic"), or No.
ForceStartTopic = 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:

Best practice is to use the default setting (ForceStartTopic=Yes), and make sure the first paragraph format in each file is mapped to title and assigned level 1.
