You might try <authorblurb>, which allows <para> or <simpara> as child elements. Starting with DocBook 4.3, either <para> or <simpara> will allow <uri> as a child element. > > I hope that helps. Hi Dick, Thanks for that feedback, I had been looking at: http://docbook.org/tdg/en/html/author.html but I am happy to just use DocBook 5.0 so I'll take more care to avoid the older versions of these pages. Would you know if the XSL scripts (I'm using the docbook-xsl package on Debian, v1.78.1+dfsg-1) is supposed to render this element? In the link you provided, it says "does not automatically generate a link to the URI it identifies" and I was hoping to find some way to make the author's name appear as a hyperlink. Regards, Daniel
