## Description

AUTHORLIST is a wrapper for the authors of a publication.

The ROLE attribute defines the purpose of the authorlist. The value of the attribute can be:

- PRIMARY: The authors that actually did the writing, e.g. the authors of an article, of a book chapter, or of a whole book.
- SECONDARY: The editors of a book or other publication that contains articles or chapters written by other authors.
- TERTIARY: The editors of a series of books.
- ALL: Use this value if it is uncertain which of the above informationi will be available. The processing application should test the availability of author data in the sequence primary, secondary, tertiary, and display the first information it encounters.

The STYLE attribute gives the processing system a hint on how this element should be rendered. The styles BOLD, ITALIC, and ULINE are available, as well as all of their combinations. In addition to this, SUB and SUPER can be used to indicate subscripts and superscripts. NONE can be used to explicitly state that no special formatting is desired

The ALTERNATESTYLE attribute serves a similar purpose, but is used if a reference has no author and the title is used in the position of the authorlist. The formatting may then differ from a regular authorlist.
