I was reading [this article](https://japanese-bank.com/nihongo-how-to-

difference/#i-5:%7E:text=%E4%BB%A5%E4%B8%8A%E3%81%8C%E3%80%81%E3%80%8C%E3%81%AF%E3%80%8D%E3%81%A8%E3%80%8C%E3%81%8C%E3%80%8D%E3%81%AE%E5%9F%BA%E6%9C%AC%E7%9A%84%E3%81%AA%E4%BD%BF%E3%81%84%E5%88%86%E3%81%91%E3%81%AE%E3%83%AB%E3%83%BC%E3%83%AB%E3%81%A7%E3%81%99%E3%80%82)
about the difference between は and が, and in the end of it there was this
sentence: 以上 **が** 「は」と「が」の違いについての解説でした。

I'm trying to understand it based on the article itself, and I don't see any
good candidate. For example, it doesn't seem to be the "new information" one
because the reader supposingly would read all the article, so there's nothing
new there. But maybe the author wanted to make known the end of the article
saying that what was above was the explanation, and _that_ would be kind of a
new information...? The "target-が" also doesn't seem to be the case, because
it's not being used with adjectives or verb expressing ability or possibility,
etc. So it could be the "exclusion-が (排他)" or "が used to express phenomenon
the way it is (現象文)", but I'm not sure.

Usually, when が is used instead of は, if you use は it would create a contrast
sentence, but in that case, it seems that using は would only create a topic.
Is that correct? If so, why would I use が in that kind of sentence?

That kind of construction appears _a lot_ in literary works, and I always feel
that I didn't understand it correctly.

question
particle-が parsing は-and-が
What is the nuance of が in "以上が「は」と「が」の違いについての解説でした。"?
I think it falls in the 排他 category. You say a phrase like this to conclude
your lecture, speech, etc. The point you want to make is that there will be no
more and what you have said thus far _is_ all you have to say.

以上は〜 would add a sense of contrast. It sounds like you are going to continue
talking about some other topic or topics.
