Re: author in refentry


/ maarten de boer <maarten.deboer@iua.upf.es> was heard to say:
| What is the proper way to place an AUTHOR section in 
| a RefEntry (Like many man-pages have)

Good question. I suppose there are two possibilities:

- if the section consists of nothing more than the author names,
  I'd be tempted to generate it from <author> or <authorgroup>
  tags in the appropriate meta.

- if the content varies too much to be automatically generated,
  just make it a <refsect1>.

                                        Cheers,
                                          norm
