I do not remember why we did not handle @author, what I remember is that there were some constraints on where and how it could happen. Maybe something changed between docbook 4.X et docbook 5. <bookinfo> seems to have disappeared, https://tdg.docbook.org/tdg/5.0/ch01.html#introduction-whats-new and instead there is an <info> that replaces it. It seems that there are less restrictions, for instance more than one <info> element per <book> block, which would allow to output separately the <author> and <legalnotice>. Should we output docbook 5? I checked rapidly, it seems that <ulink> is now <link> and that the header should be different (though the documentation is very confusing on that aspecct) but maybe we do not need more differences. -- Pat
