Next: comment attribute, Previous: description attribute, Up: Symbol only Attributes [Contents][Index]
The author attribute identifies the name of the author of this symbol and their e-mail address. This attribute is optional, but it is nice to know who created which symbols. It also serves the purpose of known who to contact if there are questions about the intent(s) of the symbol. This attribute is free form and it can also include people’s names who modified the symbol as well as multiple e-mail addresses. It is probably also a good idea to obfuscate the e-mail address so it is not harvested for spam purposes.
Example:
author=Ales Hvezda ahvezdaATgeda.seul.org
