Common attributes
DocBook allows you to directly identify Authors and Editors. OtherCredit provides a mechanism for identifying other individuals, for example, contributors or production editors, in a similar context.
May be formatted inline or as a displayed block, depending on context. Sometimes suppressed.
AuthorBlurb and Affiliation will be removed from the inline content of OtherCredit in DocBook V4.0. A new wrapper element will be created to hold OtherCredit, AuthorBlurb, and Affiliation.
These elements contain othercredit: articleinfo, authorgroup, bibliomixed, bibliomset, objectinfo, sectioninfo, subtitle, title, titleabbrev.
The following elements occur in othercredit: affiliation, authorblurb, firstname, honorific, lineage, othername, surname.
