/ Jack Moffitt <jack@xiph.org> was heard to say:
| It seems that the current way of doing this is:
|
| <author>
| <firstname>Jack</firstname>
| <surname>Moffitt</surname>
| <affiliation>
| <address><email>jack@xiph.org</email></address>
| </affiliation>
| </author>
Yes, that's right. Better "name and address" markup is on my list.
| Now DocBook:TDG 2.0.2 says:
|
| "AuthorBlurb and Affiliation will be removed from the inline content of
| Author in DocBook V4.0. A new wrapper element will be created to hold
| Author, AuthorBlurb, and Affiliation."
|
| What is this wrapper element?
We didn't go through with that plan.
| Also, what happens when two authors have the same affiliation, but wish
| to list different email addresses? Do they each have a shared
| affiliation and a unique affiliation with only the email address? Or
| is each author required to have their own affiliation?
Each other has to have their own affiliation.
| Would it not make more sense to have an <authorinfo> element with
| contact information and affiliation as possible children? Certainly I
| may write a document that is not under a certain affiliation but on
| which I'd still like to publish my email address :)
Exactly the problem that new markup is supposed to address.
Be seeing you,
norm
