Authors, basic tagging

Element or context:

<contrib>

Requirements:

  1. Group all authors into a single <contrib-group> with attribute 'content-type' set to "authors".
  2. Contain each author within an individual <contrib> element with @contrib-type="authors"
  3. If an author is a corresponding author, then set @corresp="yes" and place the author's email address within <email> in two places: (i) directly within <contrib> and (ii) directly within <corresp>; see the example below and <corresp>
  4. The name of the author should go in <string-name name-style="western">, where the surname is within <surname> and the given names are within <given-names> (see the example below)
  5. Set attribute 'initials' on <given-names> and <surname>to the intitals for the author's given names and surname, respectively (see the example, below)
  6. N.B. If the author is a collaborative group, such as an institution or working group, then contain the collaborator within <collab> (see the second instance of <contrib> in the example, below)
  7. See affiliations for how to mark-up authors' affiliations
  8. If there is a footnote on an author, see author footnotes

Example:

<contrib-group content-type="authors">
   <contrib contrib-type="author" corresp="yes">
      <string-name name-style="western">
