24.8.2.3 Specifying the DITA topic type with a paragraph format

To assign a DITA topic type to a paragraph format (for example):

[DITATopics]
; Frame para format = suggested topic type to use, if no DITATopic
;  marker found.
Step = task
Syntax = reference
GlossItem = glossary

Assign a topic type to any paragraph format for which at least one of the following is true:

You can override the assigned topic type with a DITATopic marker placed in the topic.

If DITA2Go encounters multiple paragraph formats in the same topic with different topic type assignments in [DITATopics], only the topic type assigned to the last paragraph format encountered before the end of the topic is considered.

If DITA2Go encounters a paragraph format that has a topic type assignment in [DITATopics] and a conflicting element mapping in [DITAParaTags], the topic type takes precedence, and the tag instance is flagged as an error.
