|
|
in which you mention everyone who has contributed to your document in
|
|
any meaningful way. You should include translators and converters, as well as
|
|
people who have sent you lots of good feedback, perhaps the person who taught
|
|
you the knowledge you are now passing on, and anybody else who was instrumental
|
|
in making the document what it is. Most authors put this section at the end
|
|
of their document.

>When someone else assists in the production of an
|
|
LDP document,
|
|
you should give them proper attribution, and there are DocBook tags
|
|
designed to do this. This section will show you the tags you should
|
|
use, as well as other ways of giving credit where credit is due.
|
|
Crediting editors is easy - there is already an
|
|
<TT
|
|
CLASS="sgmltag"
|
|
><editor></TT
|
|
>tag in DocBook.
|
|
But there are two special cases where you need to credit someone,
|
|
but DocBook doesn't provide a special tag. These are <EM
|
|
>translators</EM
|
|
>
|
|
and <EM
|
|
>converters</EM
|
|
>.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>A <EM
|
|
>converter</EM
|
|
> is someone
|
|
who performs a source code conversion, for instance from HTML to DocBook XML.
|
|
Source code conversions help the LDP achieve long term goals for meta-data,
|
|
and allow us to distribute documentation in many different formats.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>Translators take your original document and translate it into other
|
|
human-readable languages, from English to Japanese for example, or from German
|
|
to English. Each translation allows many more people all over the world
|
|
to make use of your document and of the Linux operating system!</P
|
|
><P
|
|
> We recommend that
|
|
you acknowledge converters in the comment for the
|
|
initial version released in the new format, and
|
|
we recommend that you credit translators in each
|
|
version which they have translated.</P
