24.8.2.1 Understanding DITA topic type assignment precedence

The default type for every topic DITA2Go generates from your document is type concept. You can specify a different default, assign a topic type to a paragraph format, or use a marker to specify the type of an individual topic. Table 24-1 shows the precedence of topic type assignment methods.

If you specify a custom specialized topic type (a type other than topic, concept, task, reference, glossary, or map), you must provide a separate content-model configuration file for the specialized type, named DITAtopictype.ini; see §41. Working with content models.
