[kde-doc-english]authors and othercredits

[Éric Bischoff]

Hi all,

Sorry for the crossposting, and sorry if this has already been posted.

I've noticed a great idea from the Dutch team, that would need IMHO to be 
spread to the other teams.

In kdelibs/kdoctools/customization/nl/user.entities, they have defined :

=====================================================================
<!-- Credits (voor ROLES_OF_TRANSLATORS, en andere plaatsen) -->
<!-- remains to check how the subelements are treated by the style sheets -->
<!ENTITY Niels.Reedijk      '<othercredit 
role="translator"><firstname>Niels</firstname><surname>Reedijk</surname><affiliation><address><email>nielx at kde.nl</email></address></affiliation><contrib>Vertaling 
van het handboek</contrib></othercredit>'>
<!ENTITY Floris.Lambrechts  '<othercredit 
role="translator"><firstname>Floris</firstname><surname>Lambrechts</surname><affiliation><address><email>floris.lambrechts at linuxfocus.org</email></address></affiliation><contrib>Vertaling 
van het handboek</contrib></othercredit>'>
<!ENTITY Michel.Fontes      '<othercredit 
role="translator"><firstname>Michel</firstname><surname>Fontes</surname><affiliation><address><email>michelfontes at hotmail.com</email></address></affiliation><contrib>Vertaling 
van het handboek</contrib></othercredit>'>
<!ENTITY Jogchum.Reitsma    '<othercredit 
role="translator"><firstname>Jogchum</firstname><surname>Reitsma</surname><affiliation><address><email>j.reitsma at hcc.net</email></address></affiliation><contrib>Vertaling 
van het handboek</contrib></othercredit>'>
<!ENTITY Otto.Bruggeman     '<othercredit 
role="translator"><firstname>Otto</firstname><surname>Bruggeman</surname><affiliation><address><email>bruggie at home.nl</email></address></affiliation><contrib>Vertaler/Nalezer</contrib></othercredit>'>
<!ENTITY Douwe.vanderSchaaf '<othercredit 
role="translator"><firstname>Douwe</firstname><surname>van der 
Schaaf</surname><affiliation><address><email>dvdsch at chello.nl</email></address></affiliation><contrib>Vertaler/Nalezer</contrib></othercredit>'>

<!ENTITY kde.nl.groep "<email>i18n at kde.nl</email>">
=====================================================================

This way ROLES_OF_TRANSLATORS can simply be translated to
	&Niels.Reedijk;
in KBabel !

Please note that this would not work in CREDITS_FOR_TRANSLATORS which has 
other (simpler) markup.

I hope this helps.
