authors

Type: Person[] Default: []

An array of person objects describing the document's authors. Shown below the editors in the document header.

Basic usage

var respecConfig = {
  authors: [
    {
      name: "Alice Smith",
      company: "Example Corp",
      companyURL: "https://example.org/",
      w3cid: 12345,
    },
  ],
};

Notes

  • In most cases, editors is preferred over authors for W3C specifications
  • Use authors for major contributors who are not editors, or when the document follows a format that distinguishes authors from editors
  • See person for full documentation of person object fields
