Overview of the Topic Breaks step

You are viewing the overview page of the Topic Breaks step which is part of the Convert to DITA process. In this step you specify where your document should break into topics and what topic type to use for the break1. Topic breaks can be defined at both the template and document level in preview mode using a dialog window:

  • Template level - These are style based and can be set for any paragraph style.
  • Document level - Documents inherit the topic breaks from the template under which they are grouped2. You can override a a topic break on any location in the document. For example you can change a concept topic break into a task.

Notes

1 The topic types supported by default are: topic, concept, task, and reference. Other topic types or your own can be added to this list. Contact Stilo to find out how.

2 You also can define both style based topic breaks and local overrides for a document that is not grouped under a template.
