Subject: Re: DOCBOOK: author email
/ 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.
