## 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:

- PART: The authors of an article or a chapter.
- PUB: The authors or editors of a monographic item like a book or a report.
- SERIES: 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 PART, PUB, SERIES, and display the first information it encounters.

The ALTERNATETEXT attribute determines what to print in place of an author list if a bibliographic entry does not contain authors or editors. Possible values are:

- NONE: nothing will be printed instead
- AEMPTY: the string defined in the element AEMPTY is printed
- TITLEPART: use the title of the analytical level
- TITLEPUB: use the title of the monographic level
- TITLESERIES: use the title of the series level
- TITLEALL: use the first available title. Processing applications should check for titles in the order PART, PUB, SERIES.

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.
