Bug#891183: dblatex: Please add support for chapter->chapterinfo->author

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

For the record, this is what the generated LaTeX fragment look like:

  % --- 
  % Chapter 
  % --- 

  \chapter{First chapter title}
  \label{first-chapter}\hyperlabel{first-chapter}%
First chapter Author  
 First chapter, first paragraph.

Looking for solutions, I came across
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/156862/displaying-author-for-each-chapter-in-book
 >
and
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1501680/how-should-i-add-an-author-subtitle-under-a-chapter-title
 >,
which might inspire a good way to solve this.

Bug#891183: dblatex: Please add support for chapter->chapterinfo->author

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Package: dblatex
Version: 0.3.10-2
X-Debbugs-CC: Benoit Guillon 

When building a book with individual authors per chapter, it is useful
to specify the authors using a  block per chapter.
Unfortunately this setup is not rendered properly in dblatex.  It is
rendered better by Docbook XSL.

Here is an example demonstrating the problem:


http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd;>

  
The part

  First chapter title
  

  First chapter
  Author

  
  
  First chapter, first paragraph.



  Second chapter title
  

  Second chapter
  Author

  
  
  Second chapter, first paragraph.


  


When building it, the chapter author is shown as the first words of the
first paragraph in each chapter, with no special formatting.  With
Docbook XSL, it is rendered between the title and the first paragraph,
with a slightly larger font than the body and a smaller font than the
title.
