To map paragraph formats in your document to DITA elements, assign the element name to the format name:
[DITAParaTags] ; paragraph format (wildcards OK) = DITA element, can be ; overridden by a DITATag marker; or format = No. ParaFmtName = elementname
[DITAParaTags] Heading* = title Meta = keyword Body = p Example = p List = sli Numbered1 = p Numbered = p Bulleted = p DefTerm = dt DefDescription = dd ParamTerm = pt ParamDescription = pd TableTitle = title CellHeading = p CellBody = p Figure Title = title Step = cmd Syntax = p CellContent = No GlossItem = glossterm
The default element for a paragraph format that is not mapped in [DITAParaTags] depends on the value of [DITAOptions]UseFormatAsTag; see §24.4.2 Treating format names as DITA element names.
Do not map to footnote or table elements
DITA2Go processes footnotes and table components separately; do not map any paragraph formats to footnote elements, or to any table component (table, title, row, or cell) elements. If you are using the DITA Open Toolkit, see §24.9.4 Omitting <xref> elements from footnotes.
You can assign element sets in [DITAParents] and in [DITAFirst], but you cannot use them for tags in [DITAParaTags]. See §24.5.5 Specifying alternate ancestries for the same element.
Specify ancestry for list formats
For list formats, if mapping the format to an element is not sufficient to identify the list type, you must also specify the parent of the element; see §24.5.2 Designating DITA ancestor elements. Definition lists can be derived from paragraph pairs.
To add typographic elements (b, i, u, tt, sup, or sub) in addition to the element to which a format is mapped, see §24.4.5 Assigning multiple typographic elements to a format
