Subject: Re: [docbook-tc] personblurb in address?
Hi Dick, et al, how would you suggest I handle the Employee Directory as described below? If I want to create a list of folks, the generalization to person would be very helpful, and I think I'll submit an RFE to that effect. It would also be nice to allow mediaobject (for accompanying photo/video/audio) at a higher level, and not buried in personblurb. Thoughts? The person model should look like: person ::= ((personname| (honorific|firstname|surname|lineage|othername|affiliation| authorblurb|contrib)+), (personblurb|email|address|mediaobject)*) Thanks and best regards, --Scott Dick Hamilton wrote: > I agree that it's a bit strange to have either authorblurb or > personblurb in address.
